Jacqueline Marie 73 Posted March 2, 2013 I am a single mother of a 5 year old.. I have been nervous as well. I went back and forth on getting surgery for 2 years because I was worried about my daughter. Finally I told my family about my choice and they have supported me and helped through the process. It does get better and easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gracefulfaith 8 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm a single mom of two girls under 7. I'm nervous but have made my decision to have Wls. How did you guys choose the sleeve over bypass? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrmBig4Evr 152 Posted March 2, 2013 I'm a single mom of 2 boys, a dog, cat and two fish (cat is missing right now, talk about stress). I get sleeved in a week and I'm very nervous, but this is for them also! I am alone with no family, but support groups really help if you can get away to one. My ex will take me home from the hospital and I'm on my own after that! We are here for you and you will do great!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I chose sleeve over band, bypass wasn't for me individually because of the weight, but also because of the malnutrition. I chose the sleeve based upon the facts and figures I found in my research! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I chose the sleeve because it just made more sense for myself and the weight I am at. Plus I didn't want to fully re-arrange my whole insides.

That's what I'm kinda afraid of, I don't want my insides rearranged. I'm 286lbs, 5'6". I'm leaning toward the sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
