pinkbunies 359 Posted May 25, 2015 I'm wondering how many people you know that have got the Gastric Sleeve Surgery as a result of seeing your success? I've seen 7 people now get it. 4 of my family members are getting it this year. They have said I've inspired them and I made it look simple. I've told them to use the surgeons that this forum suggests for the $3800.00 price. I've even offered to help them pay for it if they need it. I wish I would have done this 10 years ago. I can't wait for all of us to get pictures this time next year and see the changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miller1109 116 Posted May 26, 2015 I know a couple people. They think it's easy. Lol. I don't want to discourage them and tell them it's not the easy way out. And I tell them to go to support groups and join this forum to hear that EVERYONES experience with this surgery is different. Some go through it like a walk in the park and others.....well not so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted May 26, 2015 3 people. 1 friend (who actually had bypass, not VSG), 1 client who also went to Mexico and 1 daughter of a client who had it here in the U.S. Her dad (our client) hugs me practically every time he sees me because she is doing so well, getting healthy and feeling so good about herself. Claims I "saved her life". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaTrisha R. Lake 36 Posted May 26, 2015 I've had one person decide to take this step. She's in the qualification period and is already doing well. She has a 3 month wait, but has lost 10 pounds already. She's excited for her future, just as I am. We both have small children and wanted to be around for all the many milestones we'll get to see.
