My wife Setha had her surgery in June of 2018 after seeing the amazing progress I decided to have the surgery in March of 2019. Best decision I ever made (other than marrying my wife of course). The surgery has completely changed our lives, for the better! She started at 320 lbs. and is now at 168. I started at 380 and am already down to 311. I have to admit that I was a total skeptic and didn't want her to do it. Before the sleve, I had never had surgery before so I was genuinely concerned about having major surgery. Now we are on an amazing journey together, oh and did mention the sex life? OMG...! He will be fine, and if he wants to talk to someone who's been through it I'm available.

Now, I fit into size 46 jeans! I was wearing a size 58...
