Mensch 150 Posted October 1, 2012 Well, today is the 6 week Surgiversary of my Sleeve and the 8 week mark since I started on my pre-op diet. I can hardly believe that I am down 60 pounds. I must admit that I don't see all of them, but I do feel them. If anyone out there is doubting that the sleeve can work, please reach out to my privately. I will share with you how, in just a very short period of time it has had a profound impact on my life! 7 scorpio2479, ProudGrammy, JerseyGirl68 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicci 28 Posted October 1, 2012 What has been the hardest for you so far and did you ever worry about any possible complications? I guess i'm a worrier because thats all my pre-op mind can think about is the numerous things that can go wrong....it doesn't help that I just read two stories today that the people involved have almost died and one of them was sleeved back in August and is still in and out of the hospital today :-/ I'm having doubts now if this is something i should do, after reading their stories. Do I risk it all and have this surgery so that I can be more active with my 3 little children (the twins are 6 and my youngest is 3) and take them to six flags or disney and actually be able to ride the rides with them, or do I just continue to live life on the sidelines and play it safe? Sigh....decisions, decisions :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
