On A Scale Of 1-10....

[Lissa 2,631]

I'd give it a 20 on a scale of 1-10. I gambled with my life and rolled a winner (so far)! I was given less than a year to live because of co-morbidities just about a year ago. I think I may just outlive that prediction if the Lord is willing and the creek don't rise.

A 10 all the way, no issues whatsoever and doing great. Wouldnt change a thing! Well maybe the lack of wanting to exercise, I just cant get that going steady. Trying my first Zumba class tonight...wish me luck!

I am now 23 mths out... not at goal and I would still give my sleeve 10/10! Even though I haven't reached my goal weight goal yet, I have reached my personal size goal of a UK14. Yes I have more to lose, but what will be will be and I will continue to try because with the sleeve there is no expiry date.

It really has transformed my life regardless of what the scale says. I too wish I could have done this many years ago.

I was one of the lucky ones in many ways, no pre op problems, and good clean recovery and no complications. I moved through each food stage with minimum discomfort and I am now able to eat anything without problems. The bascially means that I can now feel 'normal'.

In saying that, this is my personal experience and we are all different... many have issues post op; some issues can be dealth with relatively easily, others are more serious.

You have to do what is right for you... go with your instinct! Good luck with your decision =]
