male only Hey guys

[samlaph 0]

Just wanted to say hi. My name is Paul and I had sleeve surgery on July 28. I couldn't be happier. No pain, no nausea, no vomiting. Also down about ten pounds since the surgery.

Haven't found many men who've had the sleeve. It will be nice to have someone to talk to.

Hey Sam!!

I had sleeve surgery on the 11th of July. 255 at time of sleeve and I weight 231 today 8/6.

Not bad....

Welcome to the board! We have a man room also, the ladies like coming in and looking around and that is fine with us. (more to choose from) VegasAngel is my fianc? and she had the sleeve 3 weeks before me.

Just wanted to say HEY and if you need anything ask! Great bunch in here for the most part.

Ok, I confess! I'm a lady here in the "men's room!" :biggrin::blushing: Yes, I think there are probably more ladies overall who have had weight loss surgery than men. My husband had his sleeve done the same day you did, Paul. I'll see if I can get him to come in here and post!

When this forum first started back in May (and before that on LBT - there was a VSG section) - Jaffa Steve was the ONLY man who posted ... so I'm sure he's happy to see more and more men come on board so he doesn't have to sit in the men's room all by himself!

Oh yeah - and WELCOME to our family ... there's always room for some sleeve brothers amongst all the sleeve sistas!

Thanks everyone! KayKay, how's your husband doing? I was 345 at my highest (March 2009). Weighed 314 the day of the sleeve (July 28) just broke the 300 mark yesterday:blush: It didn't seem like it was ever going to happen. I meet with my surgeon for the first time tomorrow.

Well, here I am back in the "men's room!":blushing: My husband is down about 23 or so since first seeing his surgeon, but only about 3 since the surgery. We saw his surgeon yesterday. I think this is because after his surgery they took him off these heavy duty diuretics he had to take daily before. So he is retaining some Water and they know it. But they still didn't want him back on the diuretics yet because apparently, they are concerned about him getting too dehydrated in this early stage. Congrats on your big loss this week.

Hey there, my vsg is on august 25th in Dallas. I've got mixed feelings really. All in all I am pretty excited about the prospect of having a physical block on food that will force me in the right direction.

[samlaph 0]

Don...good luck with you surgery on the 25th. Please report back and tell me how things are going. Like I said earlier, I couldn't be happier. I had a boil under my arm last week and that thing hurt more the VSG surgery (by far). I am completly convinced that I had the right proceedure and I know your mixed feelings will be gone after the operation.

Hey, sorry to bother you boys, but I was curious about who did your surgery, CajunBobby! I had mine in Lafayette. Dr. Cunningham.

[CajunBobby 0]

Hello Ash, my doctor was Dr. Cho. She did a great job and really knows her stuff. She's great.:thumbup:
