[quote=Anonymous]My DH had the sleeve over ten years ago, and it is still the best decision he has ever made for his happiness and health. He has gained and lost over the years since, like any middle aged man, but it is terrifying to think of where he would be now if he hadn’t had the surgery - he was slowly losing mobility and joy in life before the surgery.

Your story should help affirm for people that weight loss isn’t all in our conscious control. Your hunger dropped after the surgery because the stomach itself produces hunger hormones, and obesity creates this hormonal cycle of producing more hunger hormone, and gaining more weight, and producing more hunger hormone…and on and on. The key bit of the surgery may not be shrinking the stomach (or else the band would work as well) but it removing all that mis-firing hormone producing tissue.

The surgery and recovery is no joke - it can be a really hard 2-4 months post surgery. But man, being able to play with your kid and take a long walk with your spouse is worth it all.[/quote]
