in Introduce Yourself
I Am going in for a Gastric sleeve Next week and would like to know if anyone has done it before. I know it is most certainly not a "quick fix" like (I'm cuttting half my stomach off and have to eat a liquid diet for 6 weeks, that sure dont sound easy to me) I'm only doing this to give me an added tool to let me lose an extra hundred pounds i got switting on my waist! Anyone had it done before?

    Hello, I had the sleeve 02/29/2012. It definitely is not a quick fix and has been a roller coaster. If you do not change your eating habits the weight will not come off. The sleeve only helps to feel satisfied after smaller quantities of food. That being said it is the best thing I could have done for myself. I am now down a total of 76 lbs and I'm beginning to get my life back. I hope everything went well for you and your recovery is going smooth.
