Broken Record 30 Posted May 12, 2013 Hi everyone. I've been reading these boards for the last couple of days and decided to join. I'm getting sleeved exactly in 15 days (May 27th). I'm nervous but excited all at once!!! I'm 6'4 and currently 360lbs. My goal is to reach 220lbs. Hope to share some experiences here. 1 rootie3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M2G 1,836 Posted May 18, 2013 Welcome!! I'm 2.5 years post-op and my surgeon has a mentoring program. I mentored a man who was 6' and 425 to start. He got down to 280 at about 9 months post-op. He's been stuck there for a while but his ultimate goal is 250. I think you will do just fine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
