WOULD U DO IT AGAIN?



Recommended Posts

I'm one month out and would definitely do it again.

How long did it take you to loose weight gain from hospital, and when did soreness go away, I'm 3 days out!

Yes I would do it again. Surgery 10/08/2012, no pain, no gas, no nausea! So far I have lost 66 lbs with much more to lose.

Wish I had done it 30 years ago! Aligning what my head wants to eat with what my stomach holds has been the hardest part. 4 months out, 62 lbs gone! Its not a magic fix, but the quick weight loss is an incentive to continue and the restriction keeps you in check.

I had no significant problems with or after surgery.

I read all ur stories and i get soo pumped and excited and i want to do it !!! And then all my what if kicks in and i panic and say yo myself " u don't need it i loose weight " then another 2-3 months pass by and I'm worst

My surgery is scheduled for 1/18. One of the things that really helped me was watching propel talk about their experiences on YouTube. Just do a search for vertical sleeve and ou should get a ton of results. It's so amazing o watch someone's first video and then their most recent. The transformation is amazing. One good one is verticalsleevereviews. Endobariatric is dr. Alvarez's channel and there are a ton of testimonials and before and afters. You can do this!

If u could go back in time would u have your surgery?????

What are the hardest things you went though ????

Heck ya I'd do it again!!! Without hesitation... I had a great post op- no complications whatsoever! Up and walking for distance 3 days after surgery. I'm just shy of 4 months of post op and I'm down 72lbs! I have gotten the self confidence to take fitness classes ( yoga Pilates kickboxing, etc) and I'm going scuba diving in Mexico at the end of the month. I sleep better and sex with my husband is amazing!

The hardest thing is staying dedicated but even that hasn't been terrible. If I need something sweet I have a bite of something sweet. I've always been a savory person so I like eating all the Protein.< /p>

Honestly - I'm thankful everyday for this new lease on life!

Best of luck in your journey

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
