I had my sleeve surgery on Monday. The surgery went well but recovery was scary. I constantly stopped breathing. They put me on oxygen and then a Bi-Pap machine. Though I have had little pain I have felt weak and constantly nauseas. I am hoping it will pass. In the last 5 days I questioned this decision over and over. Why did I have to go through surgery when all I had to do was stop eating?!? However, at age 50 that wasn't working. Hang in there - I have spoken to many folks who have had each of the surgeries and have not found anyone who regretted it in the long term. Hopefully we are all on our way to better health - and a new wardrobe!!

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I think you should crap in wheaties- you have every bit of reason to warn others about the possible complications that can happen, so that they can be fully educated. It's weird. usually im so scared, but even reading the horror stories, i really do still wnat the surgery im going to pm you- ill understnad if you don't want to read it or reply since you are trying not to deal w/ the negative right now, but id o have a question.

I am so so sorry. I wish I could share my insurance with you. What are the chances of you being able to get a correction? You had surgery in Mexico, right? What does the surgeon say? You're not pissing on anyone's rainbow. Your honesty about your situation will help others decide if this is the right thing for them to do. I get what you're saying about not wanting to eat anywhere but home. I hate, hate eating at work, but since that's where I spend 8 hours of my day, I have to. I'm really worried about you, please don't keep all of this to yourself. I wish I knew how to help you.
