Twice. Checkout my profile. I wouldn't say, "If I can do it, Anybody can do it". I HATE that expression. But when you decide to go that direction, if you decide to, make sure you get a reputable surgeon with great reviews. My first sleeve surgery wasn't successful (and I went with a surgeon who advertised on t.v). The second sleeve (revision) was successful, with a different surgeon (who didn't advertise). I had the surgery nearly 3 years ago. It took me nearly 1 1/2 years to complete the weight loss. I just had the excess skin removed this summer and am thoroughly thrilled with the results. At 66 years old, life has so much more to offer and I am looking forward to the journey ahead.

I had the gastric sleeve July 2023. I lost maybe 20 lbs after surgery and have gained it back plus some. I had asked for the bipass but was denied due to scaring on my stomach.. I have since learned that this paticular doctor will do this with severly obese patients in hopes that they will return for a second surgery. just a note I followed the exact diet for 6 months and only lost 20lbs.
