Luckygrl 87 Posted July 6, 2016 Hi Mindi!! I'm still going through the hoops too. I'm actually grateful for the hoops. It's giving me time to really gather information and make a decision. How are you feeling about the decision? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindi Lou 101 Posted July 7, 2016 I have been doing research on the bypass for years...but decided the sleeve was best for me due to lower risks of malabsorption and deficiencies. I'm super excited about it moving along though. I love looking at everyone's before and after pics and stories. Very encouraging.

Luckygrl 87 Posted July 11, 2016 I'm in Des Moines!! What are your concerns? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I think my biggest concern at this point is whether I'll fail at losing the weight, yet again. And some concern about reactions from others. I'm working on getting better habits established now before I get a surgery date. I've been eating healthier, eating Breakfast and lunch which I normally skipped, drinking more Water and increasing my activity. I'm not sure why I'm feeling so anxious about it all. The facts are, I'd be much healthier and happier......but I'm still pretty scared to commit to it. :-/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
