Thank you so much!! Its was an Awesome decision for me. I lost my 19 year old sister in an automobile accident 3 years ago and really packed the weight on. I am happy and she would be very happy for me also. Good Luck to you!!

I would do it again! I've lost 28lbs since sleeved 11/16. That's the most I've lost in the past 7 years& I'm under 200lbs for the 1st time in 8 yrs. those are major victory for me. I had internal bleeding, fell, ruptured a lap site& lost half my blood. Big whoop. That's a relatively small complications ( take it from me the surgical nurse). I feel fantastic. Even though I did not have the optimal experience everyone else described, I didn't lose 40lbs in a month. I still have to work for it, but I would never have kept these pounds off or had Portion Control or satiety without the surgery.

Absolutely I would, no questions asked. I have zero regrets, other than not doing it sooner. I actually was going to do it this time last year and I chickened out and decided I needed more time to think about it. I wish I hadn't have waited but I'm so glad I finally did it.

The hardest thing for me has been the head hunger. The sleeve fixes your tummy, but it does not fix your head and that to me has been the absolute hardest part of this and something I know I will always have to work at.

Yes I can it was not negative just what does not listen to so many other people and compare myself to them everybody is different and also I had to realize that I was addicted to food not that I didn't know I had a problem but I didn't know how serious it was

      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.
