    Hello and welcome! After constantly being on this site for the past 10 months, it occured to me the other day that I know a lot about the befores and after of the gasgric sleeve w/o having it yet. There are some things we won't completely understand until we have the surgery, but reading what others have to say really helps. People ask the same questions over and over again so it you could say it gets drilled into you. This site has a wealth of information and I, personally, love visiting it almost every day I hope you do too!



    Weight Loss:
    6 Month Requirement with Nut = 41 pounds
    1st mo = 19 pds
    2nd mo = 19 pds
    3rd mo = 9 pds
    4th mo = 16 pds
    5th mo = 11 pds
    6th mo = 9 pds
    7th mo = 4 pds
    8th mo = 1 pd (bad food choices)
    9th mo = 4 pds
    10th mo = 3 pds
    11th mo = 3 pds
    12th mo = 4 pds
    13th Mo = 3 pds
