Echoing the statements by many here - thank you for the posts and the inspiration! I`m newly into the process and do not have a surgery date yet. I`ve met with the doctor and had some testing done. This really helps me understand what will happen next.

Best regards

I am in the process of going for the sleeve and I have to say THANK YOU!!!!!! Reading these has DEFINITELY helped ease my mind. I was thinking that the staples were the only thing keeping your stomach together and that your stomach never heals so reading that your stomach heals over the staples has definitely helped my anxiety. like I said THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I suffer from anxiety but I have to have surgery to lose weight not only for myself but for my kids and husband. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this!!!

Hello everyone, I also just started this journey. I'm heard about this website on YouTube, someone mentioned it. Thank you to everyone who has written a post. You have answered many of my questions. I already met with my doctor, and have started taking some tests. I'm hoping that everything go well, because I want to get the sleeve done. Have a good day, be blessed. ????
