Big Decisions!

[ready4it 8]

I just recently chose the vsg-but now I'm scared I might have made the wrong choice? Doubts are flying at me like the witches winged monkeys in the wizard of Oz... Now instead of the newly brained scarecrow, I'm feeling a little like the cowardly lion and a lot like lost Dorothy. Am I headed down the right path or am I leading myself into the dark forrest? I'be studied the maps but they look so muck alike...

Who else had a hard time choosing between the sleeve and rny? Or how did you choose vsg? I just want to get to the yellow brick road on the corners of health and weightloss.

My decision was pretty simple after hearing that my brother had his band slip on him and a good friends body rejected her band (it started eating away at her stomach). Weight loss is right away with the sleeve. You have to understand that it is a life long choice whether or not u get the band or the sleeve. I wouldn't have it any other way. I am 2 day away from being a month post-op and I am down 37 pounds and feel great. My favorite part about it that I'm never hungry.

Good luck with whichever you decide.

I have a good friend, he and his wife had wls. He had the band she the sleeve, they both did great. He is 5 years out and keeping his weight off. He is one of the few success stories from the band that I know. He told me if he could do it all again he would do the sleeve. It was an easy decision for me after that.

Thank you both for sharing. It's very helpful to hear other's stories. I am very certain that the sleeve is the better choice of the band vs. sleeve, just debating the sleeve vs. bypass right now. These are both huge commitments and I'm ready for the hard work, I just want to choose my weight loss tool wisely.

May I ask how much do you need to lose?

My Dr won't even do bypass surgery anymore unless there are extreme conditions. There are far more dangers with bypass. It's your decision and good luck with shaver you choose.

@ My350z06, I have about 90-100lbs to lose. I'm worried that being able to eat the same things I do now (eventually and in smaller portions) will be my downfall. I love sweets.
