Yep I'm scheduled for the sleeve surgery April 5th. Enjoying my last few weeks of donuts, ice cream and the chinese buffet gonna schedule in some lasagna next week lol. I've done Adkins 3 times so I think I should do ok. My wife is 15 months post op and doing great she lost 135 lbs. We will be our own 24/7 support group. I already know what I'm in for if there's no complications.

My wife had the sleeve done Nov. 2014 and she has done great other than her galbladder needed to come out 6 months after. She's been after me to get it done to of course. I've lost 75 plus lbs. 3-4 times doing Adkins and other diets limiting carbs to 45 per meal. I always gain it back quicker than I lost it I get to comfortable after I lose the weight I guess. I gravitate back to 320 or so. Its very frustrating. I have high blood pressure and now Osteoarthritis in my knees so I think I'm gonna get the sleeve done. I've been approve by insurance and waiting for my 1st consuultation visit. I know I can stick to the protein and Veg. diet i've done it before. It's when I get back on carbs and years down the road that concern me. I know a few people who've had the sleeve done and gain a lot of weight back 5 years out or so. I just don't know if it's going to be worth it long term. All I can do is pray for Our Lords help I guess.

My wife had the surgery it was just a bunch of obvious common sense questions to fill out 150 or so I think.
