January 2013 Sleever

[PerezL84 66]

Hi, I am 28yrs old from North New Jersey. My current weight is 289 5ft 10in BMI 41.5. I will be going on my 3rd preop visit to the nutritionist. I must admit I am nervous n a bit scared. This would be my first surgery ever. Also, some of my friends don't approve of my doing this "drastic" decision. They feel I look good as is. Also I know I don't look that huge but I feel it and I sure am if my BMI is 40 and above. What do you guys think? Also will I ever regret this procedure? I mean will there be good results? I can't wait to do it surgery soon. I want this to be done. "/

Don't fret!!!! You'll do great!!!!! Fellow BJ sleeves here... May 16, now 84# down. Friends and family said that about me too, my BMI was barely 40. Gotta do what's right for you!

RawrrAshle thank you so much. I feel more confident everyday. The best way is imagining what I would be or become if I don't do anything about it. #kudos

That's what did it for me; I have been gaining about 20-30# the past couple years (no change in diet, just done eat ENOUGH on a normal schedule) and my knees and back started killing me. I don't want to end up 300+ lbs with a knee replacement by 40 :/ inbox me if you ever need someone to talk to.

Yes most likely will hit you up. As soon as it gets approved. Fingers crossed.

It's a big step for a 1st surgery but one I think you won't regret. You're making an investment in yourself, your future. I have a lot of the same fears, and I won't be telling people what I'm doing. I don't want to hear the "why's" and "it's the easy way"...We're gonna have to work at this, and what a great support sysytem we have in the VSG forum. Good luck to you in this process.
