  • I have had great success with the SLeeve, and chose it based on the fact it was the least evasive of the two. I didn't even consider the band since I know people that have had it and remark how they can "Eat around it". I don't ever want to put the weight back on. I started my journey at 425 over two years ago. Had my…

  • I was sleeved in February of 2013, and was 425. Reached my goal weight of 220 by November of 2013 and have been maintaining since.

  • Don't try and eat breakfast to be full till lunch. Interval eating is the key to success. I eat 6-8 small meals a day. My breakfast is usually a small glass of cran-grape juice with my vitamins, one egg over, and two slices of wholewheat low cal toast. Snack at 9 is a cheese wedge and some flavored triscuit crackers. Lunch…
  • Was sleeved on February 25, 2013. Like all the first few weeks were a monster. I unlike a lot of people didn't have so much pain but just gas pain. Walking was my friend for sure. My doctor had me on semi soft food in 5 days. He told me to CHEW you don't need chopped food or baby food you have the best chopper in the…

Like all the first few weeks were a monster. I unlike a lot of people didn't have so much pain but just gas pain. Walking was my…

  • currently doing strength training three days a week and cardio the other 2 days. It is helping but the weight loss has slowed to a pound a week to week and a half. I know that the toning is a slow process but I can definitely see and feel the difference. I am down to 230 and thinking I will settle in somewhere around…

WOuld love to help anyone having questions of concerns. A lot depends on your surgeon so do your homework. I have had friends had the same proceedure from different docs and have had…
