Getting Sleeved In India...and Im Freakin Out People



Recommended Posts

Hi all, yes you read correctly, I am a US gal currently in India for 2 years for hubbys job, and I am going to get sleeved here. Firstly let me say how CHEAP it is. Quality is excellent, I have found the best private clinic and feel comfortable and confident with the US surgeon who now lives here and does the procedure.

I am totally terrified....But I am also tired of not wanting to get out of bed everyday and look in the mirror. I am tired of failing myself everyday by overeating. Mostly I am tired of my daughter growing up and me not wanting to take any pictures with her.

I want to break free as Freddy Mercury says!!

Love the forum, please support me :)

In freaking out too. I'm really afraid of complications, but the thought of an absolutely complication free and smooth sailing kind of recovery is just too beautiful. I'm so excited and nervous! Add to all thy nervousness, I'm going to mx for my surgery and I've never been on a plane. Ha! I have always said hat you'll never find me on a plane but I've decided this is worth it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
