Wow...congratulations. That is an incredible amount of weight loss in 6 months! Best wishes for your continuing journey!

I had sleeve surgery 5/16 and am doing pretty good. I am having a very difficult time getting all the fluid in too. I just try to have liquid by me and sip on it all the time. I still don't get it in, but figure it is better than nothing. I don't like a lot of sweet stuff when I'm not...

Wow....I've never run across anyone so rude before. I like dcepello's reply! Best wishes on your surgery! Mine is coming up soon!

Best wishes Frank. Thanks for sharing your struggles. It will help all of us when we come up against the same thing. I'm like you, it is hard to ask for help, but I'm glad you did and there are others that had some answers. Thanks everyone!

Congratulations! I wish you the best. I have my sleeve surgery on May 16th and I'm very excited. We have to work to make it work for us, but I believe we can do it.

Hi Laurieann, I'm excited for you and hope you are still doing great!

Thanks for the encouragement. Hi Frank, Thanks for the encouragement. I'm doing a quick shifting of gears to the sleeve, but I believe it will be successful.

Hello Everyone, I'm so excited! My surgeon's office called and said the insurance approved my surgery and I am scheduled to have a gastric sleeve surgery May 16th! By the time I have all of my pre-op appointments, it will be here before I know it! I had wanted to have the gastric bypass...

Hi Leah, Those were my thoughts exactly. However, my surgeon has decided that due to the degree of fatty liver that I have, he will not do the gastric bypass on me. He will do the sleeve, so rather than have no surgery I'm going to have that done. Hopefully I'll get my insurance approval...

Central Wisconsin My family and I live near Stevens Point. This was a long winter! We still have 12 inches of snow in the yard and it just snowed an inch last night. I'm hoping it will all melt soon! Due to some fatty liver issues, my surgeon told me he will only do the sleeve surgery...

Really Appreciate Your Response! Hi AngeeBaby94, I really appreciate hearing from you! That helped reinforce my decision. I know people who've had the gastric bypass and they've done real well. I believe this is the best choice for me too. Best wishes in your journey! Okieatheart

Thank you for your input. I'll keep it in mind.

Best wishes to you! I've been trying to find information on the long term results of the sleeve and there aren't many statistics out there. At this time the gastric bypass is still the gold standard, so I too am leary of the sleeve. I like the idea of the malabsorption that goes along wiht...

Thank you so much for posting back to my question. I am happy to get all the information possible. I have had my heart set on the gastric bypass for about 6 years and finally am in a position to have the surgery. My surgeon said they have had a lot of success with the sleeves, so I'm trying...

I need to let my surgeon know which surgery I would like to have because I am a candidate for both. I have been planning to have gastric bypass for several years. My surgeon leans toward the sleeve, but will be happy to do what I want. I'm afraid the sleeve won't be enough of a change and...
