I have been feeling pretty good about my decision to have the sleeve done, until last night. It just hit me; this is irreversable. I can't take it back. What are the long term consequences? No one knows. These questions of doubt started when I read the blog about stomach cancer. Oh boy, did that get my over anxious mind working! I am not sure what I am going to do. I have got myself so scared that I am very seriously thinking about not doing the surgery at all which is very, very disappointing to me. I encourage anyone who reads this blog to please give me your two cents, as I am so close to surgery. Thanks!
Hi everybody! I moved here to TX where the eatin's good and the waistline has expanded. Quick story bout me, I had lost 100 lbs on my own 13 yrs ago. Kept it all off for 10 yrs. Now I've had a son, 14mo old now, and I've gained 80 lbs back:mad0:. Can't get it off on my own this time, so I was going to have Lap-band. I had a consult last night with my doctor and he seems to think vertical sleeve is the way to go. My BMI is 34. I have been trying to find some of the disadvantages, but all the comments on here are sooo positive. Not that I don't hope for the best, but I would like to know about some of the bad things that could go wrong or have gone wrong for the few with bad outcomes. Anybody have any comments?
