I am a 37yo male who will be having a Gastric Sleeve on the 10th Feb. I have been overweight all my life. A little over four years ago, I went to a residential weight loss clinic and lost 90lbs and was able to keep it off for about 18 months and than have slowly added about 80lbs back on over the past few years.
Knowing I could lose the weight and keep it off for an extended period of time was great, but it was always work. Either I was doing good, being careful about everything I ate or I wasn't doing good and it was a battle. After lots of research, I settled on a gastric sleeve, hoping that it will even the playing field and help me be a more "normal" person.
Having a partner that doesn't have a weight problem has been difficult, but we have been together for 11 years. We discussed it extensively, and my partner, knowing me better than most, knew that the only way I would be able to avoid long term health problems was to do something surgical.
So, here is to the 10th and I will keep all posted of my progress.
