Does anyone regret getting the sleeve?
Jdesmond73 replied to Kadidy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
No regrets. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Make sure you get a good surgeon with proven success and do everything the Nutritionist tells you to. -
I was sleeved on 12/18 and in a client’s office on 12/27. I had no pain at that point but did feel rather week. If I could go back, I would have taken a full two weeks off.

Was at my Doc last week and was told that they would like to see me get to 230 lbs and maintain. I realize that 230 is a large number but I’m 6’5” and a former Football player and I’ll always be a big guy. I am just north of 250 now. If I can get under 250 and stay under that number for the rest of my Life, I’ll be happy.

December Sleevers, where ya at?

Sleeved on 12/18. Feeling awesome!!!!! -
Pre op liquid diet was the worst part about of the whole thing for me. Stay focused, stick to the plan and keep you eye on the goal. You got this! Best of luck

Curious to hear about your post op eating habits. I am 5 Months out and I still eat very little but just recently have started to experience a greater level of hunger. I haven’t over eaten at all but am worried that my sleeve is stretching

To tell or not to tell?
Jdesmond73 replied to Briswife15's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I only told my Family and a few close friends. At social events when people ask why I am not drinking and am only eating very little, I just tell them that I still have more weight to lose so I am making healthy choices -
I am in sales and I go to restaurants with clients all the time. I do get sick of hearing “what....didn’t you like your food?” I just tell people that I had a lot of weight to lose so I am working on portion control.

How much weight loss by 4 months post op sleeve?
Jdesmond73 replied to camopink27's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
90 lbs (including the 29 lbs lost on pre op diet) at 4 Months. I’m sure I’ll begin to slow here soon but it’s been rapid so far. -
Need some support from people who have had the sleeve
Jdesmond73 replied to TreeMystic's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just take it one day at a time. For me, the 2 week pre-op liquid diet was the hardest. I was miserable. After a couple of rough post-op days, it honestly has been a breeze for me. Listen to you Doctor and Nutritionists, stick to the plan and all will be well. Best of luck! -
Might be cancelling Surgery. Given the choice would you do it again?
Jdesmond73 replied to Chickensoup's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
