Thank you all! Most of this is coming to terms with my body and finding my wls. I'm 235 on a good day with hbp and high A1C level. I'm in this for the long term and know that the sleeve would be my best option. I'm scared, anxious, nervous! And haven't told dh about my plans for wls, lets hope he's on board.

I have my consult this Friday then could have my surgery scheduled 2-3weeks after (self pay). Best of luck to you on your surgery, I'd love to hear how you're doing and what recovery will be like on the other side of it. Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App

Sounds like we're in the same boat! I have no idea what recovery will be like and am usually the one who does everything (hubs works a lot). And I usually pick my kids up from daycare as well.

I apologize if this sounds naive or silly. But I have a few questions, I haven't decided about surgery yet. What happens to the staples? Will they ever get loose, nick other organs or possible get loose and travel through intestines? What meds are typically prescribed after surgery, i saw a blood thinner injection is one.

My 15 month old wants to lay on mommy :-(

I haven't had the surgery yet, but I have twin 5 yr Olds and they both love their mom holding them, one is 33lbs one is 48lbs. Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App -
I don't want people at work to know about my wls. What have you used if you choose to keep this matter private? I was thinking of saying, if anyone wants to visit me in hospital, that I had a hernia repair or is that too far fetched? Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App

I'm asking myself the same question, I yo yo my whole life and am unsure the balloon will give me what I need long term as a tool. I like the less invasive aspect but am wondering if I should apply the 7000$ to a more permanent solution Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App

All valid points! I'm a very private person and don't want to deal with office politics. I'll be self pay so insurance won't factor in plus I have insurance through my husbands work. Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App

Advice needed, plication recovery and secrecy
twins2016 replied to twins2016's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
Maybe I should do that and just tell him that I have my mine set on doing it and he can support me or not. Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App -
Has anyone had a gastric balloon placed in Austin? Where did u go? How much was it? I am having a heck of a time finding a place that does it locally Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! I *think* I've found a couple of places but thier reviews aren't good. I may travel to another city (hadn't thought about that). Can I drive myself after the procedure? How do you like it so far? Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App

I just found out the package cost for plication vs Sleeve, 15000 vs 13500(!) I was thinking that the plication would be less expensive. I was looking at the plication for numerous reasons (risks, no cutting, etc) but have been on the fence about which procedure to finally do. How did you decide for the plication vs any other wls?

I'm also worried about this not working and I don't lose weight, then looking like I failed again... I'm sure this is unfounded, but that's another reason I don't want him to know, silly right? Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App -

twins2016 replied to twins2016's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
I was under the impression that it was an outpatient procedure, i havent seen a doc yet for consult. Maybe once I feel confident in going forward with it, I'll let my husband know. He just worries so much and would prefer I lose weight on my own, but it's not something I can do, I feel le my body is fighting me. Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App -

I didn't even think about the diet portion. My hubby works a lot so won't even notice my eating habits. Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App -
Anyone not telling anyone about their surgery?
twins2016 replied to taramarie523's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm not going to tell anyone either because of back handed comments and jealousy. Has anyone done a plication or sleeve and not told thier husband or wife? Sent from my SM-G860P using the BariatricPal App
