hi ... i have been battling with my weight for the last 30 yrs ... now am frustrated .... went to my dietician when i was 11 yrs old ...have gone to numerous fat camps .... now am frustrated ... my BMI is 37 .. and am i have been doing my research on some sort of a weightloss surgery .... and i find the sleeve the most approriate ..i just have a few questions frm people who have got this procedure done 1. first of all how do i choose on a doctor to do this procedure .. i have been meeting people and they all seem good to me .. 2. do u have serious gas and acidity problem throughout and one keeps burping ? isnt tht embarassing ? 3. am due to get married in march this year will my tummy settle down till then .. i know it not going to be normal but obv i dont want to feel nauseatic and keep throwing up . 4. should i really do this ? am overweight by 60 pounds ... please please tell me ... yes for sure i have been so depressed and so stressed mentally because am consulting so many doctors about this and its mentally draininig me ... please do keep me posted .

yup .. and its sad .. that there are very few doctors here

i know he sounds good to me but i live in india so i will have to look for someone in india .... even here i mighth ave to travel to another city to do the sleeve

thank you so much everyone ... i cant tell u how good am feeling doing this ... i think things are somehow not working my way either like am not able to find the right doctor in the city where iam ..... if i ask him for references i hardly get any reply back from him or the doc doesnt get back to me .. i think i will have to travel to a different location to get this proceudre done and i have realised that i have to really really mentally prepare myself before i do something like this .. its a big step and a huge lifestyle change ... its a different relationship with food .. so iam not going to hurry up with this its just been a month ... only thing am worked with is if i have to do this now then its has to be quick cuz i get married end of march and i do need time to settle down with this ...... i will wait till i find the right doctor to go through something like this .... till then am heading to a naturopathy camp ... for a detox and yes i know in this i will loose some weight tooo ... till then more research till i find this .... but thank you guys ... u guys have been great and i love the pictures they are so inspirational like i know myself i have never ever been thin in my life .... i was a obese child as well .... and been laughed at in school and univ ... so i think i did have enough of this ... i know i will be doing this soon once am convnced abt the doctor am sure with my fiance's support i will manage to loose some weight ... he cant wait to have kids and start a family .... thank you guyssssssssssssssssssssssss love u all for this

hi ... now that i have been doing so much research and literary living and reading this blog and viewing pictures am reall amazed .. ok i want to know am getting married in march this year ... and yes i do want to have babies could a sleeve be a problem me having kids ... or having normal kids rather .. please do let me know people ... i cant beleive it people are so supportive here especially when i see pictures and the way people motivate each other i feel like i just cant wait to get sleeved . please let me know if anyone has had kids after being sleeved .

thankyou so much stacy ... its such a big releive ....

hey thats good news i have been doing so much research myself and yes the main question even i had in mind was ...my doctor told me that i might have to wait for 18 months before i consider conceiving so i was wondering if there would be any problems i mean if one can hardly eat is it fine when one is pregnant ?..... or am sure slowly i will have to try and eat a little more and ht could enlarge my stomach again ... i dunno this is really confusing

all i can is WOW u r truly inspiring

iam doing my research on getting a sleeve done and i could be doing this first week of feb ... thank u so much ... this really helps

thankyou so much for your replies .. the more i read the better i feel . yes for the last 4 days this is all i have been doing reading blogs........ reading even more ...... i even dream of this when am sleeping . for how long do i need to take these pills to prevent acidity .. ok i did hear that people who go through a sleeve keep burping ...is that true ? and when i did watch a video on utube and this girl was talking about her experince with weightloss ..... and she burped thrice in a 2 minute video ... so does this happen often ?

i know what u mean ... i think the reason most of us overeat is to comfort ourselves .... yes i do know a good cousellor in my city dont know if she is does counselling in this though but yes i could have a word with her .... well one of my doctors who i met for sure asked me a lot like wut kind of food i crave ... so i guess he was trying to figure it all out all iam concerned ... i know it will so different but was wondering wut does it feel like ... does one have a gasy feeling , or acidity ... if we do ... so do we have antiacid throughout our life's . yes i did fix an appointment with my counsellor anyway and i see her on feb 3rd . lets see how it goes till then i do more research . yes i do know one thing for sure i want something that helps my life long . because am so sick and tired of going and living in these fat camps ...yes i do go gyming am addicted to my gym .. i think its for sure with my eating that iam going wrong or overeating .
