I don't see that forum. I went under all and couldn't find where they discuss all procedures.

I agree

Congrats, CG and all the people who've lost their 100 mark goal. I've been following everyone and I'm so proud. Gives me hope and excitement when its my turn. Congrats!!

How do people get strictures and malabsorption? I notice many.people say with the sleeve it happens a lot.

Ok, good enough answers for me. Thanks!!

May I ask which procedure she had?

Gorgeous!

Silly me, nutritionist. I'm slow tonight.

Silly question, but what's a "Nut"?

Awesome!!!

That is great!! You have people who care for you, and supports you. What a way to bring in Thanksgiving for 2013, enjoy yourself..

Congrats on your sleeve. I pray it does you well in this life and next. 6 yrs with the band, that is excellent. But, you have to do what you got to do.

Band revisions, were you not happy with the band? Just wanting to know peoples experience with the band.

Had to vent a few minutes ago. It was not in a negative way, but on the "Sleeve" forum I left the title, "Complications." I don't care what procedure you chose or had, don't tell your negative story then tell people don't get it. I'm sorry things didn't work out, however, everyone body handles things differently. With any surgery complications are sure to happen, not just WLS. Again, "Sorry" for any complications anyone have had, but don't encourage others not to do WLS. Its not fair to people like me who comes on a support site for support. Yes, I want to know the good and bad, but don't tell people "Not" to do it. I'm torn on this whole thing. I literally have people telling me on this forum, "Don't do it, go the other route." If dieting and exercise was enough for me, then I wouldn't need these tools. Obviously, there's a problem and I need help, just like you did when you decided. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll take my chances. I can't be dead twice...I feel dead already, I can only come alive once I get this tool. Its my second chance at life, and I'm fighting back for it. "I WANT TO LIVE." "I'M GONNA LIVE."

I truly thank you for your advice. Its people like you that keeps me optimistic on this journey. Yep, sleeve is what I'm leaning towards.

Sorry, that happen to you. Hope your doing well on your revision. Thanks for the good luck, good luck to you too.

As long as you have self control, which I see you have, you'll do great. Enjoy the birthday cake....a small piece.

I hate when people say, "Why surgery? You can lose weight on your own." I hate when people say, "Your taking the easy way out." I hate it when people say, "You were never "Fat" just big bone." B.S. when people see you trying to better yourself, they find ways to keep you down because you being down keep them up. I don't care what people have to say, I'm doing me. There are people already not in my circle anymore, and I haven't even had my surgery yet. Imagine when I do, its really gonna ache them. Oh well, I know now who's for me and not against me. TEAM WLS!!!

Cool!! That's what I'm leaning towards. Do you feel any different?

Ok got ya

Oh...
