Sleevers?

Hello all!

I haven't been on here for a loooooooong while.  Some new faces, some old, some initially un-recognizable due to very successful weight loss, lol.  I have been approved for Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy and and currently completing pre-op testing and waiting on a surgery date.  I wanted to know if there are other BAF'ers that have has the sleeve done and if you have any info to share and/or advice.  My surgeon is Dr. Brian Cantor at Holy Cross hospital.

Congratulations.   

There are many sleevers on here :)

I am one.   I am almost 2 years out and love it.

No issues from the day that I had surgery.

Congrats to you!!! I love my Sleeve her name is Sassy lol

Yep, love my sleeve - about 2 years out and 105 lbs down!  Go for it!

Howdy,
I'm 1 year out and down about 90 lbs and still losing with little effort. No issues what-so-ever. I named my sleeve Sleevie Wonder

I'm a sleever.    Still trying to get to goal.  The reason I haven't made it is a combination of a crappy metabolism and not exercising enough.  I figure I'll get there by the end of the year.

I am probably the newest Sleever on the BAF board. I am only 2 weeks post op. So far I have lost a little over 30lbs. I believe I made the right choice of surgery for my particular needs. I am looking foward to the rest of this journey. As with any WLS choice there comes tremendous adjustments but I can tell you that I already feel more mobile and have lost 2 inches on my waist. So far so good . You will get the surgery date soon and be well on your way :)

Thanks you all! It's good to know I am not alone! Now I have to think of a name for my sleeve when I get one. I like SLEEVIE WONDER and SASSY! LOL!
