Amazed with my results so far!

Mike can I ask you if you’ve had an issue with excess skin? I’m 360 and 6’5” as well. It’s my biggest concern and I’m a few days from surgery.

Your story encourages me to get the surgery even more! Are you happy you had the sleeve vs bypass?




I am very happy I chose the sleeve over the bypass. All of the health issues I had are gone. This was the best choice I've made in my life in terms of in both improving my health and improving how I look. I'll admit I started to get cold feet at one point about 2 months into my pre-op plan about going ahead with surgery since I had already started losing weight. Someone said to me, "What makes you think this time is going to be any different than all the other times you tried?" That stuck with me and helped me realize I needed this surgery as a tool to help me be healthy. Good luck with your decision.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
