I had a sleeve on 2/24. It's 14 days later and I've already lost 21 pounds. It's been an up and down ride so far with pain, food tolerance and emotions, but I'd do it again in a second.
Update: As of today 83 pounds lost.
Update 8/28/21...as of today 100 pounds lost.

There may be risks, but when you walk out your front door everyday you are taking a risk. This surgery is a great tool for those of us who have suffered with food addiction. Come witness my VSG journey!!

This surgery saved my life. I’ve lost all my weight in 9 months. Best decision I’ve ever made. This surgery is not a MIRACLE from heaven cause you need to put yourself through it to get better results. Eat small portions with small utensils, get your vitamins and proteins and last stay active. Best of luck to anyone looking forward to having this surgery!

Finally, someone who knows his stuff and knows how to explain it! Direct, clear, concise!

I want to thank you for making this thorough, yet short and concise. I've had to listen to 30 minute long stories of VSG patients and gotten no real info at the end of them.

Wow..Thank You! This video was very informative. When I went to the baritric seminars, nurse consults and met with the surgeon, they touched on SOME of the things u mentioned, but didnt break it down like you. Great job!

From what I have learned from various videos, you can't even drink much water at any one time. I have a bunch of medications that I take at night, which it drink with a fair amount of water. Dehydration is a problem...I understand. My family does a lot of hiking, biking, camping, backpacking and hunting. All require to be able to drink a fair amount of water including more than four oz at a time. I have a back surgeon that recommended me for bariatric procedure, without really telling me anything about it, nor listening to me and my personal ability to take time off. (I have two compressed disks that I am needing to have replaced.) I have enough time lined up for my back surgery....but adding this surgery I just don't have the time available as far time off from work goes. How much can a person drink at any one time with the sleeve? Then how about food and water intake, how much? I have heard through peoples videos, only 4 oz of anything at any one time. Have people been able to get back to working out in the gym, running long distance, or medium for the sake of being healthy and fit, without becoming dehydrated to the point of an ER visit? When hunting, you are no where near an hospital, let alone medical clinic that might be able to help. And I have not been able to get to my primary care doc at the VA to go over any of this for help in my thought process, to try to figure out what I will do....Any thoughts?

What medication can you suggest to help with hair loss after surgery?

[conniejohnson]

Thank you so much. I heard that some doctors suggest before operation one needs to practice chewing food at least 25 times....I scares me for my friend gulps her food, really (chews her food about 5 - time). she want to go through it. Another friend who had hers 15 yrs ago said that was the worst part, she'd forget and it caused pain and nausa where even today she says I still chew my food 25 before swallowing. she everyone should do it anyway.

I get worried about the long term effects since this is not an old surgery. When I say long term I'm talking 10, 20 30 yrs down the road. How can it be safe to remove 80% of your stomach? But I really need to loose weight!!

[brookiey]

I want to go to Houston for my surgery now

[mkm]

surgical risks and complications, other things have to be taken into consideration, as post oparative pulmonary and cardiac complications are more likely yo happen in this type of surgery. thanks for your efforts.

[yapsweeleng]

Good 😌 and will make me think harder thanks Doc!

Genetics should be required. Also if you have dysautonomia the stress this surgery puts on the body increases the dysfunction of the autonomic system.

[carlfreeman]

Wish he would do a video on the risks of long term obesity. Betcha a dollar it's a way way more scary.

[jackiedew]

Yes everything made sence the way he said it thank you...

[MM-eqic]

What are the problems thatight request a bypass after the sleeve? And thank you for your valuable advices

[marj]

Now I don’t want to do it. I’m scared of blood clots.
