Recommended Posts

Hey guys...im abigail i will be getting sleeved at nyu langone medical center by Dr.Ren Feilding. Im nervous but more exciting than anything. I have been big all my life n im ready to make a change because my weight has held me back for most of it.... so let me tell u a little about me im 18 like i said 250lbs and 5'0 tall... im kind of scared about to weight loss process years ago my mom had the.gastric bypass and had so much excess skin that after she had to lift her boobs and get a Tummy Tuck her legs,back and arms need doing to but there isnt enough funds. But im saying all of of this to say what was your experience with skin was your journey hard?? Im looking forward to hearing from u sleevers!!

I think you have youth on your side. Lots and lots of before/after pictures here of young people with sleeves who have perfect skin and lovely tummies. It depends on the person, I'm sure, but I think you have a better chance of good skin tightness than I do as a 37-year-old mama of many. Congrats on your surgery!! Wish I could have done it at 18! :)

      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.
