I don't really recommend surgery as an option. I had it done last year and all the weight has come back plus some.

    I just had the surgery earlier this month. Would you mind sharing your experience? Were there complications that caused the weight gain? or something else?

    I would love to read more about both of your experiences. How you felt immediately after surgery, any difficulties, anything easier than you thought. .....

    My surgery is scheduled for 12.12.16 I am also wondering why you say no. I have a sister who had it 4 years ago and has done amazing with no issues and has lost and kept is off.

    Could you please give some reasons why you had the weight gain. I have had several friends who have had the surgery over five years ago and still doing very well with only 0 to 10 lbs weight gain.

    I was sleeved in June 2015. I've lost 78 pounds. The first six months were the easiest, but I've steadily continued to lose, and am happy with that. I LOVE MY SLEEVE and would do it again in a heartbeat - it's been truly life-changing.

    I'm 5 months post op of my sleeve and I have no regrets yes it's hard but the results show and it's so worth it you have to keep to your diet and listen to your nut or you can stretch your stomach out again and that how you gain the weight back

    As someone who has a significant amount of weight to lose, I had the sleeve gastrectomy on 11/14/2016. It isn't an easy decision and it has changed my life completely, but I have lost 140 pounds since starting the journey in October of 2015. I do not take it lightly or regret my decision. I would be happy to answer any questions.

    I too have had gastric sleeve (18.07.17) so am really at the beginning of the journey but so far so good. Had to do the 2 week reducing diet prior to surgery and now almost 2 weeks post op I have a 33lb loss so far. I know this is no easy fix and that it is just a tool to help me manage my own behaviour for the rest of my life.

    Surgery went really well and I was home after 2 nights, pain has been minimal and I feel great, just beginning to get back to mobility and despite feeling tired from the reduced liquid diet I feel great and very optimistic for the future.
    Happy to answer any questions

    I have just started my process of the 6month prior to surgery. I have known ppl who have gained weight back because they did not choose to live a healthy lifestyle after surgery. Drinking are empty calories, eating high calorie foods are not good. Plus exercise is a HUGE factor, part of myself of wanting to lose weight is to run and play sports again.
