I'm the ANON who wrote back in October 2009, August & December 2010 (whatever, right?!) and although this thread is old, I have to say there were so few forums that this discussion was taking place in so 1) it is great to see comments added; and 2) it is great to see that more people are learning about this procedure. When I had mine just about 2 yrs ago I was 100 lbs heavier (I'm at 198 lbs, yes exactly, for 9 months now - adding more cardio :) and my quality of life was ruining my health. No one knew what I was talking about when I said 'sleeve gastrectomy' and most assumed it was lap band. I know several acquantainces that took that route or bypass and not one has been complication-free or as successful as I have 2 yrs later. I thank God for every day I have and hope that those that are morbidly obese and considering this procedure are as fortunate as I have been. Thanks for all of the comments posted over the last two years.
