I have tried just about every diet out there and would lose lots of weight, only for it to come back. I have severe spinal stenosis in my lower back which causes me chronic pain & leg numbness, and weighing 270lbs my mobility was getting limited. I had to do something and fast! I had a cousin that had the gastric sleeve done by Dr. Hoehn and she recommended him.

They are Gas X strips that you place on your tongue...they fill your abdomen up with air when they do the surgery...that was probably the worst part of the whole procedure

Down 57# since surgery 2/18/16 and I feel awesome! Leg numbness is completely gone...???? I still have low back pain but not like it was and the more I move the better it gets!
I'm so glad I made the decision to get sleeved....best thing I could have ever done for myself!!!!
