So I had sleeve in Dec 2016 but had a complication (stomach stricture as doctor cut the sleeve too thin on the bottom and it twisted.) So after three years and two repairs the stricture came back so the only way to get rid of it for good was to remove it and convert me to a bypass in June 2019. So I had gone from 289 to 165 with the sleeve and then 165 to 138 with the bypass! After the extreme weight loss the pandemic hit and I started gaining due to severe insulin resistance and T2 diabetes. So my weight loss doctor put me on Trulicity (I had actually been in stage 3 clinical trial of that drug back in 2009 to 2011 before it had a name and had lost 60 lbs on it then gained it back once clinical trial was over!). I started Trulicity in Sept 2021 at 204 lbs and by Nov 2022 I was at 150 lbs! That month Trulicity became unavailable so my doctor put me on Mounjaro and that is where I am today, 10 mg. I stay between 148 and 153 lbs, am 5'8"! These shots keep the insulin resistance in check, A1C normal and all my weight off!! But these, shots will be life long maintenance! The clinical trial proved to me without the help if the shot I will gain weight back in my sleep!!

What is sleeve twisting?

I had BPD DS in 2008 my highest weight was 437 lost down to 300 then stopped and stayed at 300 give or take 10 lbs. for years until May 2023 I started on Monjaro. I've been obese almost everyday of my 58 years, I've done every diet every plan, every pill, drink, program, you name it Ive probably done it. With Monjaro it has been amazing, hands down best thing I've ever tried, i'm down to 251 since May. I have no side effects, No cravings, i'm no longer "see food, want food" I started exercising about a month into this. I started juicing mostly veggies I only add 1 apple to the huge jug of juice I make every couple of days. Easy to make good choices and control my portion size since I've been on the injections. Only concern is how Ill feel when it's time to stop taking the monjaro.
