If I stay under 240, I'm happy

Sleeved 12/17/2017. Pre op liquid diet was terrible and I was miserable for a Month post op but I am very happy I had the surgery. I can't handle booze any more which is quite an adjustment but it's worth it. Good luck!

What a wild ride. Hit my goal 10 Months post op. Hands down the best decision I have ever made for my health. I feel 20 years younger! I hope everyone is doing well

I was 45. Very happy with my decision to go through with it. Best of luck to you!

Dr.Currg is awesome! He did my sleeve last December. Best of luck!

Don’t worry. You will be fine. I drink 5 nights a week on average (starting 3 Months post op) and never stopped losing weight. I eat a bit more than I used to but not much

Stay strong. It sucks early on but I promise you that I will be worth it

Congratulations! Well done!

My Insurance didn’t cover it and I paid $14,000

I understand what you are going through and everyone has a different experience but for me, my only regret is that I waited until I was 44 to do it. Yes, there is a lifestyle change but it may not have to be as drastic as you think. About 6 Month post op, I started drinking alcohol again, carrfeine, carbonated beverages. The biggest challenge is just learning to adapt to the new way your body tolerates your intake. Best of luck to you!

Definitely will be able to. The Sausage King of Chicago is right.....it’s all about portion control. Best of luck!

Trust me when I tell you the initial discomfort will pass. The first Month Post op, I was beyond miserable but now I have more energy than I did when I was 18 Years old.

Best decision ever. I wish I would have done it 10 years ago!

Great point! I have been saying that I should have done this 10 Years ago but at 34, I don't think I would have had the maturity or dedication to truly change my lifestyle. Best of luck to you!

Sleeved at 44 last December. Feeling fantastic

All is well here. Hit my goal today!

I was home a few hours after surgery

Congrats! Great work!

Down 150 pounds. Why didn’t I do this surgery 10 Years ago!?!?!?

Thanks. Stay the course and it will change your Life! Best of luck to you

December of 2017

I weigh myself every Monday morning and write it down in a spreadsheet. Most weeks, I have lost a bit but sometimes I’m up a few pounds. I try to focus more on non scale victories.

I am 44 and was sleeved in December of 2018. My Life has changed for the better in countless ways. I am healthier and hopefully a better Husband, Father and more productive member of Society. Should have done it 10 years ago

I like to keep people guessing. Probably not the best course of action but it’s none of their business. I have told people that I trust and who I feel are asking because they genuinely care about me and my health that I had surgery. I have told others that I just eat a heck of a lot less than I used to Some others I have told that I have been working with a weight loss Doctor for the last Year. It is normal to be anxious about what to tell but my advice would be to just go with you gut (pardon the pun) and do whatever feels right to you. At the end of the day, you are doing this for your health and if people want to judge you, screw ‘em! Best of luck to you
