WOW!! Boo on the husband! I have researched for over a year and everything you described is very normal. Many have "buyers regret". I have not been sleeved yet either, May 9th I will be tho!! I think it is normal to think " what have i done to myself?" because you feel so awful and things are so much different that you are use to!! I assure you that many say the exact same things as you and they also say give it time and you will feel better! Best of luck to you! Kelly

IEGAL, i so hope that the 'feeling hungry' all of the time issue for me is resolved for me as well! It is so damn annoying to always be so hungry! i hear a lot of people say that it could be and then some say they still are hungry. i pray mine goes away. i am not a grazer and do not have head hunger, if i just did not feel hungry, i would be fine. best of luck to you!! kelly

I have not had surgery yet, but my dr. says that we can not do anything but walk until 6 weeks out! Hope this helps! Kelly

I have Kaiser for my insurance and they too, are paying for my sleeve, so I do not know the cost! However, I can tell you that the Kaiser Richmond Bariatric Dept. ROCKS!! My Dr. is David Fisher and he is AWESOME! The Bariatric center in Richmond is ranked #3 in the nation for Bariatric Surgery. You can't go wrong with them! Best of luck to you! Kelly

I got my date this afternoon!!!!! May 9th!!!! I am so excited and scared and nervous all at one time! Kelly

Yep! It is for life! No drinking 30 minutes before or after eating FOREVER! Best of luck to you. Kelly

OH, i am soooo nervous about this too!! I don't know when to quit now!! I know I will not know then!! So scary! and I would rather be beat in the face than to throw up!! Kelly

I am having the sleeve done and my BMI right now is 35. I started with a BMI of 43.5 though! I have lost 52lbs pre-op and am still going, so may very well get down to a 33 BMI by the time my date gets here!! My Dr. said that he will still do the surgery and that the more I lose the easier it will be for me. I am having the surgery to keep from gaining the weight back anyway. I always could lose, but could never keep it off. Hopefully, this will help me! Good luck to you! Kelly eight Loss CWenter is your best free resource for weight loss

I am worried too! I don't know how to get all that in. I don't have surgery until next month, but that seems so hard to do. I am sure it will all work out, but dang! It seems like you would have to have a cup to your lips all day!! Kelly eight Loss CWenter is your best free resource for weight loss

OMG!! that is awful. That seems really high. Do you have to have comorbities with it too? I would see if you can appeal that. 50 is outrageous! Best of luck to you! Kelly

Can someone please tell me what an eggface is? I see this all over the place and I really have no idea. Thanks, Kelly

So, I can not help but wonder....does the sleeve work for everyone or does it fail for some? I know that it is a tool and if it is abused, it will not work, but there are so many success stories that I read and I don't think I ever hear anything negative. I wonder if it seriously fails for anyone? Does anyone out there know of anyone that it just did not work for? I guess the reason I ask is that I have such a HUGE fear of failure. Again, I know it is something that I have to use and that if I don't do the work, it will not work, but I am so afraid that it is not going to work for me! Thanks for listening. Kelly

Good Job You!! Kelly

I have Kaiser as my insurance and just made my Case Manager appt for this Wednesday 4/6!!! This is the appointment where I will be given my surgery date!! I am so excited. I have been going thru the program since Oct 10. I have lost 54lbs pre-op and am so looking forward to my new life post-op. I am hoping to be one of the lucky ones that no longer have hunger issues after surgery. I am so hungry all of the time and want it to stop so badly! Just wanted to share my good news! Best of luck to all of you. Kelly

not to worry!! i think everyone feels that way. like wtf am i doing? should i do this, can i do it on my own? it is normal to feel that way. don't worry! you will be fine and be so happy that you did this for yourself! you will be so happy and healthy in the long run. you will do great! good luck to you! Kelly

YAY for you! I look to get my date on Wednesday!! Best of luck! Kelly

oh jeffrey, you took the words right out of my mouth! i too, have lost and regained the same weight over and over 100lbs to be exact. i CAN lose weight and fast. I just CAN NOT keep it off for very long. It is like i sabbotage myself or something. I don't know why I lose control and binge on things that I should not eat. I know the sleeve is going to keep me from doing that. I physically will not be able to eat, therefore, I can not do the same thing to myself as before! Good luck to you all! Kelly

I agree with others, eat a little more for a couple days and see if that helps. I find that when i hit a stall, if i eat a few more calories i will lose. Strange, but true. Your body thinks it is starving and holds on to everything you give it when it isn't getting enough. Try it! Kelly

THAT IS SO AWESOME!! WAY TO ROCK THAT SLEEVE!! KELLY

GOOD JOB!! KELLY
