I actually looked in to the sleeve, but when I researched it and read about the higher percentages of weight loss with the RNY I changed my mind immediately! I am 10 months out and 107 of 111 lbs lost. I have 4 lbs to go. I had a text book surgery and recovery with absolutely no side effects. So, no, I have no regrets. Nothing can compare to the feeling of pulling on size 4 Levi's and not having to pull hard to get them buttoned.

I never really got excited. It's kind of like going to the dentist, you know it will be good for you, but there will be some discomfort along the way. Over the last 17 months post-op though, I have learned a lot about myself and the one thing I found to be key to my success in this process is a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA). Every day isn't rainbows and unicorns, and some days are 2 steps forward and one step back, but you have to still count the step forward. There were weeks when I busted my butt to follow the rules with little or no success and there were weeks that I was sure I wouldn't have lost an ounce and I was down 3 lbs. What matters is that you dont let those bad times remain in your mind too long. Listen to the people in charge of your care, ask questions, and follow the rules and you will succeed.

I have screwed up many times, learn from it and move on. You are only human!

I know it is easy to say now, but it will all be worth it!

I have heard that liquid Iron is better!

You could also tell them you are fasting. Don't compromise your plan for anyone, especially this early on.

I agree with cookarue! And because you only have only one shot, why wouldn't you go with the one with the most success? Not a sermon, just a thought! Btw - I reached my goal today 111 lbs in 16 months!

I completely agree wil Cowgirl Jane, it takes work! The WLS, is just a tool and is very helpful, but you still have to be committed to the process!
