I had the gastric sleeve surgery 7 months ago today and as you all know it was the best decision of my life. I am down 83.8 lbs and think I am losing it at a nice pace. Not too fast and not to slow. So if any of you are having the sleeve, had the sleeve or thinking about it and need any questions answered, feel free to pick my brain.

Have a beautiful day!

Why did you choose the sleeve over the RNY? I am going to my seminar on Thursday, so I really don't know anything about either surgery. Thanks for your help.

I'm curious to know your start weight, since I'm going into the sleeve as a "lightweight" with a borderline BMI.
