Vol 2 Question you might have about Sleeve WLS

Hi,

You are so right. Thanks for catching that for me. I went back in and changed it. Always good to have someone else read things and catch your errors. I appreciate your telling me.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Thank YOU for this post.

Thanks, Mama Sleeve....great advice as usual. You are the best!

I would like to add a little something to those who are thinking about surgery, it goes along with number 11...exercise. Start exercising as soon as you start thinking about surgery. I am convinced that this will help with recovering after surgery. I had been working out with a trainer for 3 years bf surgery (on my own for even longer). Like most of us, I would lose weight and then gain it all back over and over again. Still, I continued to work out. I had a very, very easy recovery, my lungs were strong and so was my body even though there was extra fat on it! It was easy to get up and move right away after surgery. Even more exciting for me is that as I am losing weight, I am seeing all of those muscles that I developed underneath the fat. I developed those from the 3 years of strength training that I did! I am down 2 pants (not dress, but pants!) sizes and in a couple of weeks that will be 3 pants sizes as the ones I am wearing now are starting to get way too big!

Hey,

Your welcome, sometimes I forget all the things that I have learned and I am trying to put them to good use to help others along the way. We all have different issues and problems, but sometimes we have some of the same ones, and don't think anyone else has them.

Hugs,

Suzanne
