BariBlanca 3 Posted June 2, 2016 I am a recent post op patient of the Gastric Sleeve. I had back surgery in February and as a result of that my surgeon advised me to loose weight so my spine wouldn't collapse. I lost 45 lbs since Dec 15th. He still wanted me to lose more. He sent me to Dr. Brian Chin and I had the sleeve May 23rd. My pre surgery weight was 266 and my weight today was 255. This is difficult for me as I am a private person but I read a book written by Alex Brecher and decided I would go on this website. I am hoping that reading the stories of others will help me with my journey. It seems like a really good source for finding answers to your questions. Thank you.
