Hi everyone I am Cat, a 31 yr old mom from Holland an have been thinking about WLS for 5 years now. My BMI is 50 and I want to be healthier and better. After a lot of research, I think the VSG is the way to go for me (possibly with a DS attached to it later if nessecary) I am still so very afraid to go through with it. What if I die, what if I get serious complications; my sons are only 3 and 1 year old. Did you have those fears? I would love to know more about your stories. How is your life now? Do you have any problems-complications-intolerancies from it? Do you take lots of Vitamins? Is it bad to eat so little ort are you really satisfied? Do you never ever take something not-s-good for you? Do you ever go out to eat? How do you handle parties and such? Hoe much did you lose? What do you typically eat now? When I was pregnant, something in my hormones changed and I was feeling very full all the time. I lost weight in both pregnancies feeling perfectly satisfied. Of course after childbirth, my endless hunger returned and so did the pounds (plus interest) I wish to think a WLS will have the same effect on me... I wish I was not so afraid, I wish I could do it without surgery but on the other hand I tried that so much, I wish that I could LET GO of the idea that I can do it without. :bored0: Greetings from Holland Cat

Hi guys Thanks for all your answers so far. It is too bad that there are not many long term post op sleevers around yet, I am so curious how you all will be doing in ten years time. But then again indeed: with my current BMI , in ten years time I wil, have diabetest for sure and more. (if I am still alive) Staying fat is not an option anymore, I guess I am still somewhere in my mind thinking: you can do this without surgery! ( Although experience dictates otherwise... It is time to make up my mind about it Thank you so much!!! Cat
