I also had the hernia repair. It did cause more swelling, I didn't feel any pain where it was. I have 4 incisions and then the tiny one for the drain. I'm 4 weeks out... No pain at all, 27 lbs down since surgery

My fiancé and I have been together 8 years and it has always been amazing. Since my surgery, it's only gotten better. I'm down 100 lbs, he can't keep his hand or eyes off me and thinks I am by far the sexiest woman. He tells me everyday how much he's always loved me, but feels so much closer to me now. I think it will be wht you make it. Yes your eating changes, but your relationship doesn't change if you don't let it. (Plus... Skinny sex is a whole nother amazing plus!!!!!!!!!!) good luck. Don't stress. If its meant to be, it will.

I'm 25 from nh. Struggled with my weight since I was 12. Up and down, everywhere, I gave birth to the most wonderful baby Girl a year ago and have the privilege of bein a stay at home mom with her . this journey for me started in January... It's been a roller coaster. I had my endoscopy in June only to find I have neuroendocrine cancer in my duodenum. I had 3 tumors and a hiatal hernia. I am beyond thankful for choosing this procedure, because they would have NEVER found my tumor had I not. It was up and down on whether or not I would be able to get the sleeve or not but m happy to say... I am having my sleeve this Friday, sept. 7th!! Ahhhhh!! As far as the cancer, as of now it's a low grade slow growing tumor, so they will go in ever 6 months with an endoscopy to scrape the area and remove any growth. I'm ready to be happy, healthy and to keep running around with my Sweet Caroline <3
