At almost 300 lbs. your weight is a bigger risk if you do not have surgery, for something to affect your health. It was scary having the surgery, but scarier not having the surgery (sleeve). My husband was 320 lbs. He could barely drag himself around and depression ruled our lives with our health. No more!

I UNDERSTAND THAT COMPLETELY, I HAVE A 21 YEAR OLD AND A 2 YEAR OLD...IT'S NOT A TYPO..LOL, A 2 YEAR OLD. I ADOPTED HIM.AT 3 DAYS OLD, AND COULDNT.IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT HIM. WHEN I.DECIDED TO DO THIS, I THOUGHT OF HOW HE WOULD BE AFFECTED IF ANYTHING WENT WRONG MORE THAN AANYTHING ELSE. THERE SO VULNERABLE, AND.WERE THERE WORLD, BUT NO MATTET THE SITUATION...ELECTIVE SURGERY, GOING TO CATCH THE BUS AND GETTING HIT, OR STAGE 4 CANCER, WE ARE NOT IN.CONTROL! GOD IS AND WILL BE GOD,!!.WE HAVE TO PRAY WITH FAITH, THINK.WITH FAITH, AND JUST UNDERSTAND THAT HE DIDNT BRING US DOWN THIS.PATH.FOR.NOTHING....WERE TRYING TO LIVE, AND HE'S SHOWING US THE WAY. OF COURSR WITH SURGERY THERE'S THAT "PERCENTAGE" THAT WE'VE ALL INCLUDED OUTSELVES IN BY NOW, BUT WITHOUT THE SURGERY THERES A "GUARANTEE" THAT WE'VE ALL.BEEN PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH.

I WOKE UP IN PAIN...NOT SCREAING AND CRYING.PAIN, BUT I FELT IT.IM EXTREMELY TIRED AND I WALK.VERY SLOW BECAUSE IM SWOLLEN. IIT'S HARD TO GET THE FLUIDS IN AND I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO.EAT THE SKIN OFF OF.PEOPLES CHICKEN(LOL) AND IM NOT EVEN HUNGRY....BUT WHEN I STARTED I WAS 302....IM 287 Today. I didn't follow the post up until the LAST OF CLEAR LIQUIDS....I.DID THE shakes OCCASIONALLY, BUT I WAS SO.NERVOUS MY APPETITE WENT OUT THE WINDOW. IT WAS NERVE WRECKING, TIME CONSUMING,AND I FEEL LIKE I.BEEN HIT BY A TRUCK.....BUT I.WOULD DO.EVERY BIT OF IT OVER IT AGAIN!!! I PROMISE YOU, SO KEEP THE FAITH AND PLEASE UTILIZE THIS BOARD!!!!
