I have a fatty liver and don't worry it can be reversed. Your liver is the organ that heals the fastest. Google it. :-)

:-( I have 4 small children and my husband is active duty army. I want the surgery but scared about the risks...seeing the threads here it seems to be a lot more then 1%

Why do you regret it?????

Do you mind telling us your start point? Like age/weight/bmi etc? Also where did you have your surgery done? Previous surgeries? Pregnancies?

I'm glad you're being honest but smh....

My last straw was I fell through a chair (broke it) at my sons football game and a diagnosis of high cholesterol and fatty liver disease all around the same time.

So how did it GO??? We are all anxious to hear how your visit with the oncologist went yesterday. I've been praying for you and thinking about you since we got the last update! Don't leave us hanging now sweetie!!!! How have you been feeling too? Hope to hear from you soon!

Just curious....

I bought it and I LOVE IT!!! Great wealth of knowledge and super easy to read and absorb the information! Thank you so much!!! And yes I got it from amazon!

I'm like spazIng out over here wondering what I should expect at my psych eval to get this surgery approved. Does anyone have any information they could share on what happens during this particular part of the process? I was watching a show lastnight called "My Weight is Killing Me" and one of the females got denied because the psychiatrist said she "presented with depression" and "wasn't ready for surgery" ALL BECAUSE she cried a little during the interview... Is this true that we can't have any emotion during these interviews or we get denied???

I'm addicted too. I meet with the surgeon a wet from today.

I too, have PTSD and I'm going through the VA/Army hospital for my surgery and psych eval. What location are you at?

I'm worried about my eval too. Keep us posted.

Does getting the sleeve surgery have any negative effects on your kids? My children have gotten used to all the bad habits I've raised them on (my fault) and I've been telling them how I'm going to change my life and stop buying all of the junk and processed foods (or ATLEAST reduce it by 95%). They understood but they acted sad about it. I have four babies: 10 yo Justin (son) 7 yo Ashtyn (daughter) 5 yo Trason (son) 2 yo Shaylen (daughter)

Was this a sleeve or bypass?

I haven't had my WLS yet ...thought I was 100% sure I wanted it....UNTIL I read this thread. Definitely back peddling....

I have NOT been sleeved yet but everything you mentioned above is what's going through my mind right now! What's the point of surgery and hell if you can just gain it back? Does Carnie Wilson ring a bell?

I don't have a date for surgery...my seminar is 21 August 2014 at 1230. I've lost 12 pounds on my own since June 12th...

Yes that's true...I am going to try to explain it to them that my unhealthy eating has put me in this situation so I want us all to have a new lifestyle...they will still get treats on occasion but I definitely think we have a sugar addiction and I'm working to ATLEAST reduce our intake by 80%...baby steps right?

We are all here for you! I thought about you a lot lastnight! Everything will be okay! Keep positive, as I said there are tons of different treatments these days and a lot of options. It will be okay it sounds like they found it in it's early stages! <3

Lol I hope so! My first appt is 21 August

I agree with that. I don't really see it as punishment though because eating processed foods isn't good for them anyway. I will just try to make their favorite snack for them in a homemade healthier way. There is a cookbook that teaches you how to make poptarts and other kids favorites ALL homemade and healthier :-). I may ask my friend to borrow it because she is the one who showed me lol

What exactly makes you regret your decision? Please be specific as I am taking in all this information to make an educated decision on my own surgery. Thank you so much for taking the time out to respond...

Maybe you aren't getting enough calories??? I'm wondering where your stall is coming from?

Just curious (sorry if I'm prying) but how often are you constipated?
