[edc90 7]

I got my sleeve surgery on sept 19 and I was amazed how well I felt as soon as I woke up from the Anastasia I even asked the doctor if he had done anything because I felt no pain in my stomach I felt no gas pains or anything the only pain I had my the biggest opening by the stomach area and it only hurt when I stand up or sat down but by now I feel great I feel no pain and I feel like before the surgery like if nothing ever happen I think the part that hurt the most was them trying to find my vain for the iv they poke me like 10 times lol well I'm happy to say since the surgery I lost 20 pounds and I'm excited to continue forward it's tuff when I see food all around you but I have in my mind the mentality of I didn't just get rid of 80% stomach for nothing this is a life style change I will greatly miss pizza and burgers but at the end I want a healthy lifestyle and it's all will power it's a mental game but with consistency anything is possible if anyone needs advice or help feel free to message me

Hi edc90. I had my first consult last week. After reading some of these posts......I'm teetering on my decision. I'm 62 and have some minor health issues. Any words of encouragement?

beginanew: DO NOT HESITATE. this is a no brainer. you have much less than 1% chance of complications compared to more than 80% chance of diabetes, heart attack, stoke, HBP, apnea, kidney issues, depression, arthritis and on and on with obesity. IT IS A NO-BRAINER. and really not that hard.

Beginanew do not double think it just get it done like jilani said it's worst the outcome of complication from been overweight than from doing this surgery one of the main reasons I did it is because I was diagnose with diabetes last year and trust me I prefer dealing with this surgery instead of the complications of diabetes just do it don't double think everything is for the best take changes in life you only have one I used to be like that double think everything and things never got done now I don't I just go with the flow and hope for the best and enjoy life one day at a time
