Hi everybody! I'm so glad to have find this app!!! Nice to meet you to you all! ❤️ I decide today to get the sleeve done... I'm full of questions and doubts, any kind of doubts beside having the surgery if you guys can help me with any kind of advise I will appreciate it (I'm seeing the doctor the first week of February and having the surgery the same month since I'm flying to Colombia from Italy to do so.... Here are some doubts/questions -What could I do from now for help myself to have a safe surgery? -when the loose of weight stops? I don't want to disappear -Will I ever enjoy a meal even if ruby with friend and family? -I'm a weed smoker... I'll stop smoking from January but... what about after that? -While sleeping I'll have tubes for breath lie in other operations? -I read many people lost their sexual appetite this happens to all? Better if I stop asking I'll leave something for the future I'm sorry is just that I'm too excited Let me leave a pic of me with my actoral body... I guess this is the first time I do this without shame. Thanks for the support Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@Greensleevie what you mean about try to start trouble? I really don't want to start any trouble I swear Those are pictures about me last summer, now I'm like 4 more kg My BMI or CMI is 31 I calculate it on internet. I posted the pictures because I felt the freedom to show my body on this group and I never feel that way Maybe I don't have a very high obesity level but I do have a level 1, I also understand that maybe I don't arrive until obesity level like other "colleagues" in here but as you know each of us have problems and I do have problems with my weight, I'm very photogenic (one good thing) and I look thinner in my pics next to how I really am Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
