Sleeved 2011 and was a size 2 -4 in 2020 .That year was my undoing and now I am almost back to square one. I am wondering if any…
If you had gastric sleeve surgery, what was your experience with it like?

New and 2 wks post-op
Hello and nice to meet everyone. I’m Beth, 2 weeks post-op for the gastric sleeve. I feel like everything has been going alright for the most part, though am still learning those full cues.

Successful RNY needs refocusing
I had GBS 12 years ago. I originally lost 140# and have successfully maintained 115# of that loss. Over the last year, I've been really sloppy with my eating. Old habits are creeping back in, and sugar addiction taking hold. I am looking for a few people to help with support and accountability. Anybody out there?

4 days post op and doing great!
I just returned from Mexico where I had the most amazing experience. I got the sleeve and I followed the two week pre op to the letter and subsequently I think my surgery went really well.

Hey everyone, I'm Lauren, got sleeved on 5/10/2023. I was on track until Halloween—hit a stall. Switched from Baritastic to MyFitnessPal for easier meal tracking. Seeking cheer buddies or anyone who gets the struggle with old habits. Tips are welcome, just looking for kindness! Thanks a bunch!
Bypass 7 years ago
My name is Clair. Had RNY May 2016 and lost 120 lbs. Recently 15 lbs have crept back on due to my own loss of motivation. Hoping to lose all 15 by cruise in January. Joined gym and now trying to get back on track with eating healthy and high protein.
