    Pros and Cons of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

    Don't feel bad at all...I don't see it as being judgmental, I see it as being honest. Life is precious and we all worry about our health but this surgery may not be a quick fix. Like you said even after the weight is lost you have to deal with long term complications its not something to be taken lightly. I appreciate your honesty. I just don't know if I can lose 100lbs on my own. Which is what I want to lose.@AnneElliot [emoji106] FutureFitGirl

    Oh really? Wow! Thats cool. I work Newborn Nursery and I used to do NICU. @1poundatatime I have no kids yet and I think it may be because of my weight issues. I only got pregnant twice and both times had miscarriages [emoji106] FutureFitGirl

    Wow! Thats true! That is so inspiring and it feels like a relief to know that other people feel the same way as me. One day I feel really excited and the next I start thinking maybe I shouldn't do this. However, I feel like I need to write a list of pros and cons to keep me motivated. Im a nurse too only I work with neonates. Lol. Thank you for your response @1poundatatime [emoji106] FutureFitGirl

    Thank you so much lisalisa5678 you are right and it is none of their business. I have tried a lot of diets too and all failed or I lost weight only to gain it back. Thats why I wanna do this surgery now. I feel like if I don't do it now I will just end up doing it later. Thank you for your advice. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl

    Thank you@Berry78 and@Amethyst Acinom you guys give amazing advice and have made me start thinking a little differently. My Father had high blood pressure and diabetes and now my blood pressure is starting to go high and im only 28. Im trying to stay off of anti-hypertensives and ear healthy. However, I do want a health me in the future. I think im letting what ppl think and have to say bother me too much. You are right they are not the ones who have to live i. My body or deal with the consequences. Thank you guys so much. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl

    No I haven't. Maybe I should tho. My nutritionist gave me a few. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  16. Guys Im so scared. Thinking of maybe even backing out after I had my mind set on this for so long. People are completely clueless about this procedure yet they have so many negative things to say. Im 5'4 250lb and 28yr old and everyone says you can do this on your own your young. Food is an addiction for me. Would you tell a drug addict no to get help from a doctor or that he could do it on his own. Nobody but people going through it understand that food is an addiction. If I don't do this I don't think I will ever be a Healthy weight. But im scared. My friend at work was like oh I know someone who did surgery to lose weight and died but maybe everyone is different and that wont be the outcome for everyone. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
