She is vile! Do not let her pull you down! Chin up girl, soon your new life will start!

I am quite surprised about your "first of all...not your place...judge" comment. In no way I was judging you or anybody else, if you read my comment again I said your weight loss is amazing as it is and just try to be patient. I know that is what I will try to do when my time will come.(And I know it will not be easy) No hard feeling though, I wish you the best!

Pre sleever here, and I do not understand one thing. I see all of you losing weight, and than you have the stall for a few weeks but you do not gain and adding up the numbers by the end of the month you are still losing. Honestly, when was the last time you lost weight or lived your life without gaining any? To the OP, in 24 days you have lost 14 pound! That is 0.6 pound a day!! That is amazing to me... I think you ladies are very impatient. We all got here due to YEARS of unhealthy life style. You realistically can not expect your body to lose it all in 3-4 months... Good luck to all of you with your healthy weight loss!

Pre sleever here so I can not say anything about the compliments YET, but the rude ones are plenty... One of the worst was when a homeless man came after me in the parking lot and asked me for some money. So I turned around while getting money out of my wallett and suddenly he said "Oh I am sorry, I did not see you are pregnant, I can not take money from a pregnant lady!" Oh he made me mad, I threw the money at him! lol (That was rather rude of me...:/) Poor soul he just wanted to be nice but he made me feel horrible. This happened a few yeaars ago and now I am even bigger that back then. I can not wait to be sleeved in January and start my journey of "healing".

Me again, I check Hruby's prices for you, it is about 3800GBP and that is not bad coz everything is included except your ticket: all pre-op examination, 7 days hospital stay, meals, medications. They charge quite lot for airport transfer but mind that he is not in Prauge that is why he is cheaper I've heard. Maybe your cousin could give you a lift to his clinic??

Hello Linsday! I am a European living in UK, and YES it is waaaay too expensive to have it done here. I am going back home (Hungary) in January to get my sleeve. I have looked at a lots of sites and talked to Europeans, but I have never came across 2000GBP...who offers it on that price? Well, obviously I will have it done in Hungary by one of the best surgeon (Dr. Miklos Tanyi) for 3500GBP. That is the cheapest I have found in Europe. In Hungary Dr Elemer Mohos is also very popular, he works for the same price. Also very popular amongst Hungarians Dr Martin Hruby, he is Czech, and you can find him on http://www.newleafwls.co.uk/ , but I think he is slightly more expensive. I do not know about Poland but I imagine they have low prices also! I don't know anything about the ones you mentioned, I tried to research it myself but very few review I was able to find... I wish you good luck and of course if you want to I could get you in touch with my Dr. xxx

Hello to all! I am new to this forum as I am trying to get every bit of information I can before deciding on WLS. First I thought the band is for me, but after months of reading about it I knew it is not gonna happen. So sleeve seemed as the next "level", and of course I want to know about the complications. So I was reading on the RNY forum, to see why they chose RNY over the sleeve, and one of the member made this comment: " My surgeon's biggest issues with the sleeve is that it is a newer procedure and there is data out there with people having leaks two years down the road- he doesn't like that and neither did I." (here is the link: http://www.rnytalk.com/topic/8641-what-made-you-chose-rny-rather-than-sleeve/ ) And I was like WHAAAAAAAAAAT???? Does anybody know anything about this??? Also I have found this great article about complication percentage ect http://asmbs.org/2012/06/sleeve-gastrectomy-as-a-bariatric-procedure-update/ Oh my, such hard decision... Any input please?

Indeed you are right. The patient had something else going on that's why the staple line did not hold. It's still scary :/ "On the second patient the leak happens very late, 2 years after the LSG. We have no notice of any such delay presentation and lead us to suspect that it may related to intestinal and mesenteric ischemic disease with narrowing since leaks reappeared in all the subsequent LT surgeries most likely unrelated to any technical defects but related to the patient vascular pathology that finally bled and after several transfusions lead to MOF and his death."

I am thanking everybody for their input. I agree with all of you, and really truly I think the sleeve would be the best for me - I am horrible on taking supplements and the thought of losing my hair also scares me. However, I was further investigating as that comment on the RNY forum just bugged me, and indeed there are late sleeve gastrectomy leaks. It is rare, but it happened before. I am posting the link, and I am not doing this to scare anybody away but for everybody to read on and know even though most likely it will not happen, but it can unfortunately.... I'm just gonna have a long talk with my doctor and see what he thinks...I am bummed now...:/ Late Sleeve Gastrectomy leaks and its severe consequences Two patients developed late EGJ leaks. One of them 10 months after a re-sleeve gastrectomy and the second one presented with a symptomatic collection 2 years after the LSG and multiple surgeries were required. Results: The first patient required a total gastrectomy after several trials of conservative management. The second patient required 7 laparotomies and died to his primary intestinal vascular pathology. http://www.bmilatina.com/index.php/bmi/article/view/8
