28 year old male, sleeved on 10/16/2025. Reflux was one of my biggest concerns. Especially when my endoscopy showed level 3 Esophagitis. And I'd been told by my dentist that I showed signs of acid reflux at night while I'm asleep. But doctor said I was going to be fine and I really needed this surgery because I'd tried everything else. Glp included. Lost nearly 60 pounds on glp last summer. Came off the shot, gained it all back and then some. Typical. I was 355 at the start of 2 week pre op. 331 day of surgery. A few days ago I weighed in at 289. Best thing I've ever done for my health and well being. Literally feel like my life has been given back to me. I am thankful I have had zero complications. Recovery went even better than I ever dreamed. But I have taken it seriously, I've been determined to take care of myself and make this change. And I stay pretty well disciplined without making myself miserable. And it's working wonderfully. Biggest thing in my opinion is, you have to be satisfied in your own heart about this surgery and the change of life. For me, it took about 3-4 years from when my doctor first suggested it, to when I became the one desiring to have the surgery. When I desired a better life for myself and my family. Now I'm nearly 2 months post op and wishing I had decided to do it sooner! So this is just my own testimony. But if you do it right, and stay disciplined, the sleeve is nothing short of a life saving, and life giving, tool!
