amiee0176 2 Posted March 9, 2012 I have never joined a discussion board before so I'm not really sure what to say except "HI". I am beginning my journey to have my sleeve procedure done and am learning so much about myself in the process. I have struggled with weight since the birth of my children and wondered why I could loose weight but could never keep it off. I was SOO scared to ask my doctor about this procedure at first but once I did she almost seemed happy that I did. My doctors have helped me realize that I am not alone in this constant battle and that there is help out there. So far I have only attended the required seminar but have scheduled appointments for my upper GI, psych,dietary and sleep study. I am only waiting on the referral to exercise therapy to go thru at this point, kinda hurry up and wait thing I guess. I have been doing so much research on this procedure and have yet to find anyone that is sorry that they had the procedure done. I can't wait to get my sleeve and start seeing the results that you all see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Queen of Crop 1,104 Posted March 10, 2012 YEAH!!!! A whole new world awaits you! Most of us feel very fortunate to have found a solution to this overwhelming problem. For me, I was never even able to lose the weight so who knows if I could have kept it off!!! But today I am in a size 12 and still 21 lbs from my goal weight; but I feel great.
