At 67 it was the best thing that my husband and I ever did for ourselves. Three years ago and we would do it again. Don't wait for the diabetes, sleep apnea, HBP and debilitating health problems. We are loving life. Fifteen years of WL seminars, we finally found and trusted the sleeve and surgeon!!!!

you're the only one who knows if it is right for you.

think of where your life will be in one year without making this change?

and now with making the change?

honestly the vast majority of people only wonder why they took so long to do it. no regrets from me.

I am in the process of trying to get approved for VSG..I fight back and forth with wondering if it's right for me as well. I mostly think it's the part of me that's afraid to change that fights the thought of surgery. I'm pushing forward past those thoughts and trusting the other thoughts that say do it for you..I want to be healthy and be the best me I can be..surgery is the tool to help me accomplish it.

I was really scared at 67. It was 10 times easier than expected. Three years out and would do it again in a heartbeat!

      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.
