    Sooo i am offically 4 days post op i made it to the other side yay!!! Unfortunate my liver was still too big to get the full Ds Surgery so i ended up with a sleeve not unhappy because still have promising results with less complications and my surgeon says when i lose more weight we can reschdule for the 2nd half if im still willing. Not sure if im willing to go through the wake up pain again. My stomach wasnt so bad but my back was killing me. But dont let my story scare you I have a low tolerance for pain and 4 days out i barely need any pain meds. I guess i feel disappointed like i let myself down. thats why it took me so long to talk about it. I feel like i let u guys down who were rooting for me. I followed my diet i lost weight on it just not enough. But every journey has its twist and turns to tell and although i am an expert in DS I am a novice at this sleeve thing so it a new mindset and a new set of rules to process. But honestly im scared. My sergeon is not very hands on and not close enough for me to go to all the meetings. With the Ds I had the malasorbtion angle to help keep the weight off long term what if i am not meantally long term strong enough for this??

    Full of Questions

    May I ask what "DS" stands for? I've been seeing it a lot but haven't figured it out yet.

    I am sorry you are in this position! Maybe give it a year or six months and see what you can do on your own. You can always go back to WLS if you want it. I don't know your weight loss history though if you feel like you are a yo yo dieter like many of us, you already know that you need more help. So maybe look at your own history and see if you can truly commit to it. Either way you gotta watch what you put in your mouth forever. I feel like with WLS though you kinda get a do over on your body. Because of the rapid weight loss in the beginning. So for me I'm looking at this as a second chance to take care of a skinny body, knowing all the things I now know as an adult. I'm not gonna wreck my "new" body. Good luck!

    I was worried about telling my husband too, so I waited and kinda gave myself pep talks about why it was important. I knew his reservations against it so I had information for him, and I also basically decided that even if he didn't want me to do this I was gonna do it. I have to take care of myself. He used to think it was a quick fix or cheating. So I schooled him a lot! He is still warming up to the idea but I am so positive and always giving him information that he is getting better everyday!
