I had the gastric sleeve done on 12/11/17. As of today (12/28/17) I am down 18 lbs. I was not morbedly obese but I was over weight for my height. I am an even 5'0" tall and was 170 lbs. I have struggled with my weight for years. I have done every diet known to man, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, ate 500 calories a day for days on end and still rarely seen a difference in my weight. If I did lose, I gradually just gained it right back. I decided to do the gastric sleeve because I was tired of the constant yo yo'ing in my weight. I wanted to make a difference and it finally last with-out me thinking about food all day every day. So far even though I am only a few weeks in, I feel this was the right decision for me. I have had no problems with the pre-op or post-op diet. So far, I really have not even felt hungry and to me that is huge! They have walked me through ever process. If you have a question - they answer it. The hospital and people are very nice. Leaving town for a few days was def. worth coming back and starting a new "skinny" life!
