    Trying To Get Back On Track

    Thank you sweet i am going to do this Sometimes it helps people to go back to the pre-op diet or follow the 5-day pouch diet to get back in the mode (just google the 5-day pouch test and you will find information). Thanks to you both for the motivation.
  5. Fter visiting my parents for three month i got off track and gaind 14 lbs. feeling so disapointed in my self. Been home for a week and have struggled. Today i weighed myself and finaly lost 2 lbs. ok back on track still feeling frustrated and disapointed.
  6. You know your going to have those times and you will probably endulge again. Do worrie about cheating once and a while. Because if you do not allow yourself to have those monents then it will happen more often than it should.

    Why Did You Choose The Sleeve?

    Well i had been thinking about some kind of surgery for two years before. My husband met with Dr. Sassy in Reno Nevada and i was undecided with the procedure their were three. The compleat bi pass more advasive, the lap band, and the sleeve. Well having some one in our small town in oklahoma pass away from the bi pass i was very skeptical, also my cussin having complication eith her lap band had me concerned. The Dr wanted me to do adk question so we did. My husband and i are both in the medical field so we asked questions. What were the complicatuions with all the procedures. What were the benifits. I almost went with the bi pass because it is reversible if we had complications. I knew i did not want the lap band because i would have to keep going back for adjustments. So i looked at the pro and cons. Of the bi pass and the sleeve Bi pass : my hair. I would loose alot of it faster. I had to take lots of Vitamins everyday. And dumping. Weight falls off faster The sleeve. Not reversible. I had to take vitamins but not the amount that the bi pass required. No dumping. Weight comes off slowere. I will still have hair loss but not as much. I sat at a support group after and they let me ask them questions. Like did the tegret their decisions. What were their complications and so on. And i read a book that Dr. Sassy wrote on each procedure. I went with the sleeve and i am happy i did your makeing a life changing choice and you don't have to just jump into your choice. Sit with your Dr. Mine let me sit with him for over 2 hours to aske all my questions. I hope this helps. Good luck

    Anyone Regret Being Sleeved?

    I am 5 1/2 months out. I am 75 thinner. I have no regrets but i have not had any complications. I went through surgery with fling colors and the nurses kept asking me to push my button and i wouldnt. food wise i miss some foods only cus they sit funny in my tummy but i am doing great. I no longer diabetic and that is worth it. If your having regrets you should sit and talk wirh your dr. And your nut. See what your tummy is telling you. Everyone has a diffrent reaction to the surgery. Good luck
