Let me start off by saying my name is Frankie And I currently weigh 499 lbs I'm currently getting the gastric sleeve surgery. My date is September 3 and I am terrified about getting a leak because I know they can be fatal and I live about 300 miles away from my surgeon. Someone please give me advice I'm breaking down I don't know if. Can go through with this ..

Hello let me start off by saying first my name is Frankie i just turned 30 in january and currently i weight 500 lbs and i am six foot, i have so many questions i cant seem to get any answers to i live about 200 miles from my doctor who will be preforming my operation and so far only have had one consultation with him so i only know whats basic about my surgery. I have done alot of research on the subject and have come across so many helpful people on the internet and youtube who say its the best thing they ever had done in there life however i did come across some sites that made me a little scared and shook me up a little. First this article about pigs getting similar surgery out of 181 pigs 4 died from leakage from the staple line. Water alot more difficult after the sleeve because i do worried about dehydration. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUPPORT~ Frankie.

Here i go i get my first consult from my surgeon tomorrow i must admit im a little scared im worried i wont ask all the questions i need to so any advice on anything i should ask or bring up OMG IM SO NERVOUS!

Hello my name is Frankie and I have my first consult this April 11th. I have been educating myself about the lap band and all I ever find Is negative remarks about the lap band like the risks of getting the band like erosion and infection and band failure the things I read make it seem like this is something that happens 99.9999% of the time now I'm having second thoughts and I was all gun ho about getting my band I'm so frustrated I could cry honestly.

I think some of you may misunderstand me i really really want the lap band i have had to convince my loved ones to convince them that me getting this done was ok because my parents and girlfriend were so scared. I have NEVER has surgery in my life so im terrified i have muster up just enough strength to know on the inside that i will go through with getting the lap band but when i see SOOO many people and news articles on the internet talking about how its gonna erode my stomach and it will need to be removed my main concern is i only wanna have 1 surgery i don't wanna have to go through getting it taken out. I really want this i need this im six foot 2 and bounce between 493 lbs and 500 lbs so this is something that means alot to me in no way would i NAY SAY or talk bad about the lap band it just im so scared and when i read all those things it terrifies me. like i said i could just cry because i need this...
