Any Celebrity Sleevers That You Know Of?



Recommended Posts

Something struck me today, I don't recall seeing any celebrities coming forward (or being "outed" LOL) as sleevers. Several have admitted to having the band or bypass but no VSGers that I know of .... Anyone know of any?

Rex Ryan had a lap band procedure. I was reading about it on ESPN.com yesterday. Also, I'm a life long Jets fan( don't know if that's a good thing or not! LOL)

I was a bit surprised he chose that procedure, and I wouldnt be surprised if he becomes a revision candidate in the years to come

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
