So happy for you!! I didn't know about the hair loss. Does that happen to everyone? I am going through the testing for the sleeve but I am very nervous about it. Why can't you swallow pills?

That's great! Could you tell me how your recovery went?

I am glad to hear you are not in pain! I am hoping to get the sleeve in december and it is great to hear about your experience. I will be looking forward to your posts and hope you have a speedy recovery! :-)

I am so happy for you ! You look great and seem happy too!

I am beginning the process to get the sleeve through laparoscopic surgery. I was not made aware of the endoscopic sleeve as an option. I have a BMI of 36 and no other health issues. However, Dr Gerber is checking me for sleep apnea and if I have it I will qualify for the surgery. However, should this new endoscopic sleeve be something i consider?

How are you doing now? Who was your surgeon?

How are you feeling?

good luck in your recovery! I would be interested in hearing about how you are feeling each day. I am so nervous about going through it. Did you get the one incision laparoscopic surgery?

Hi, I decided to tell my story prior to surgery. I am a mother of 3. I married straight out of college and had my first child 10 years later but proceeded to have another child two years later and another a year after that. I had always been on the thin side and lost the baby weight...eventually. Then came menopause and then a lengthy, costly, emotional four year divorce. And I packed on 80 pounds. I love feeling full and it really doesn't matter to me how that happens or what foods I eat. I was a business owner, lost that in the divorce. I am a special ed teacher and love it! My two boys are in college and m daughter will follow in September. I rescued two dogs to help my children through the divorce and now they are leaving me with them lol. I just sold my beautiful, big house of 23 years and will be renting a very small two bedroom place. I am so excited to be moving on to my new life and really want to begin it by being healthy. Losing weight and exercising and focusing on my mental and physical health are my priority now. I hope this surgery helps me to do that!

How did it go? I am just going through the testing before the surgery and I am nervous. People have posted horrible recovery stories. Just wondering how it is going for you?
