I have surgery scheduled for March 6th and I have anxiety to but more about the long term changes in lifystle ( concern about overeating a little and then vomiting a lot.. still being able to enjoy wine every now and then just in general all the social stuff that happens that seems to most of the time involve food or alcohol.. I know that is a big part of the reason I am so heavy does anyone know what happens if I postpone do I have to get insurance reapproved Just not sure if I am mentally ready thanks

Kalkat Thanks for the welcome i am scheduled for sleeve surgery on march 6th

Hello I am new to this forum i have my gastric sleeve surgery on March 6th and honestly I am freaking out a little I am 5 11 and at my highest was 385 since deciding to do surgery I have lost over 35 pounds and hope to take more weight off prior to surgery with the pre op liquid. Long term goal is 220 i went to pre op education course yesterday so I am clear on everything to do for the next week and the weeks following My questions revolve around several items is two weeks post surgery realistic to go back to work . I work in finance so desk job i understand the need to strictly follow the post surgery liquid diets etc but when you get to 6 months are you pretty much able to eat most foods ( recognizing that focusing on protein and fewer carbs will be key for the weight loss ) How common is vomiting post surgery 6 months and I assume it is just over eating is the main cause and how sensitive is your stomach ( ie I have 6 ozs of meat instead of 4 am I throwing up) the thought of vomiting a lot obviously is not pleasant . I know Alcohol is discouraged but safe to assume that for special occasions one or two drinks will be fine ( once again 6 plus months out post survey ) i am excited to do this a get to a healthier life just probably now just processing how much change there will be to my life thanks so much for any feedback

Creekkimp thanks so much for the message and article link I definitely need to ponder more and talk to my wife it may make sense to move out the surgery given where my head is at will let you know thanks

Still learning how this site works so not sure how to reply to individual posts ( probably missing something simple ) thanks to everyone for the responses as surgery has drawn closer I am starting to get nervous about the fact that I probably will slip up at some point or several points and the thought of getting sick often seems to suck. That being said I guesss that is the whole point is that you can not eat too much without getting sick and you learn to live with it and not overeat I know I am being a wimp but starting to question the surgery . It just seems so finite .. I know I need to lose the weight just wondering if this is the best choice for me. anyway thanks for the thoughts

Thanks so much for your response one other question when you overage was it literally more than just a handful or did you clearly overeat . I guess I am trying to figure out is there some margin of error as I do see myself slipping up every now and then thanks
