Dr. Marvin: Amanda is a fairly young patient. She's in her mid-twenties when she had the surgery. She did meet the National Institute of Health criteria for weight loss, which means that her body mass index was 41. She was moderately obese. She wasn't manifesting too many other medical problems related to her weight yet; then again she's on the young side. So she had similar extremity swelling and those kind of things, tip-offs that things aren't quite right. Amanda: I was very uncomfortable. I was one of the only heavy people in my group of friends. My husband is very lean and active. So it had a lot to do with our lifestyle, and I wasn't able to go to the pool, and I didn't want to wear sleeveless shirts. When my friends went out to the club, I didn't want to go to the club. It had a lot to do with my age, and I wasn't able to live life. Dr. Marvin: Amanda's lost from 240 pounds down to 128.5 pounds and that's a very significant weight loss, that's great; that's a very good outcome for a gastric sleeve. Amanda: The recovery for me was pretty simple. I took two weeks off of work. I could have gone back within five to seven days. Thinking about it, it changed my life. Just wearing sleeveless shirts, and being able to dress like everybody else, being able to spend time with my husband, and go to the pool, and just be active. A lot of people started to talk to me again, because I wasn't friendly whenever I was heavier. I was angry; I didn't want to do anything. I was like a hermit. My response is...I mean, they want to know how I did it, and I'm very open about how I did it. I was like, "I had the surgery." I couldn't do it myself, I could not do it without the surgery. I could not have done it. Dr. Marvin: My patients sense obesity is a systemic disease. When we cure it for them, they get better on so many fronts. It's nice to see how their doing afterwards. They really are changed.
