    Default Woman's World magazine this week 7/23 issue- article on the sleeve

    They have Amanda Fife and her Dad Ed, who got the sleeve together and have jointly lost 337 lbs.
    I don't see it online anywhere to copy/paste... sorry...

    I think we may see a large influx of new members

    And hey, Amanda and/or Ed if you are here somewhere, Congrats on the article

    Grace, these are not the story in the magazine you were talking about, but there are articles about the Fife's in my local newspaper. Lehigh Acres, FL is a suburb of Fort Myers where I live...I knew their names sounded familiar! If you google Ed and Amanda Fife, you can find several articles on them!
    Reason: added links

    I think the last article I posted said they had the duodenal switch. Does the article in WW say they had VSG?

    Yes, it does. It says Ed's brother had VSG and they had the "same operation"....
