Today is 1 YEAR

One question for you.. How soon ... Post op ... Did you feel your energy level take a noticeable swing upwards ? I am so tired of getting winded walking 4 blocks between buildings here in the city, am looking forward to the day in the near future where I will be skipping taking the city bus between clients and looking forward to walking to my next meeting across the city centre!

I really started to see my energy level rise after about 3 months. Then at 6 months it went up a notch. At 6 months is when I really started to work out. Now that I am 12 months out my energy level is even more which I think has more to do with the working out at this point. So I would say it is a gradual increase over the 12 month period for sure.

I am going to have the sleeve but I dont know anyone who has had it. I know people that have had the gastric bypss and have done so great with it.Do you think this surgery is as successful?

I'm having the sleeve Tuesday, Elizabeth. A friend of mine also had it 10 months ago and has lost 36kg (70lb). She told me yesterday that it was the best decision she ever made! They are very similar procedures. Good luck with yours. Read through heaps of these forums, so much great advice!

I think that with either surgery you go with it is entirely up to you on wether or not it is successful. Many folks do not realize going into this just how much work you have to put in to be successful. If you are willing to follow the plan and work your tail off then you will de fine no matter what surgery you choose.

Good luck to you!
