Demographics - Opinions - Weighing Options (no pun intended)

[BigDog Bryan 262]

I began my journey (2015) where you are now - 5'9" and 400+ lbs. I had the sleeve because I wanted to keep all of my plumbing in place and functioning. I have lost 1 full-grown man so far, and I do not regret my choice AT ALL. While a full bypass would have gotten me to my ultimate goal (for me, about 185) faster, I am SO MUCH healthier even now that the pace of the last 75 pounds is a bit easier to take on.

It seems that I am near the point that I need to exercise to accelerate my weight loss further - not a bad thing at all. If you are comfortable with the idea of the Sleeve, don't let ANYONE change your mind!! The doctors are the "experts", but this is YOUR BODY, not theirs. This is YOUR LIFE, not theirs. As a result, this is Their Advice, but it is YOUR Decision!!!

Take control of your future and be comfortable with the decision that You make.

God Bless,

Bryan

Thanks Bryan I appreciate your input. You're almost my exact demographic and oddly enough you started your consultation almost exactly two years prior to mine. Small world!
