LouLou22 15 Posted October 7, 2016 How are you guys and gals feeling about it? I'm desperate to get it over with now. Am starting to worry that I may be one of the small percentage that has complications...but I think that's just nerves kicking in. Anyone else feeling that way?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I personally know of one person who has had complications (requiring two additional surgeries) and is still happy with her decision to have WLS. She looks and feels great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrsNilla 304 Posted October 7, 2016 I also know of only one who had complications and she had other issues before that came into play. I have done the same liquid diet a year ago for 12 weeks and lost over 30 lbs. It's fine, because I also get to eat a few veggies and limited extra Protein like eggs, chicken, turkey... My goal for the 4 weeks was set at 5-10% loss. It should work out. I live in Finland so the health care system is very different. I only pay for the visits to the hospital and hospital stay, the rest is free for me. Due to this system, they are very strict with meeting all criterias for surgeries. We have a few extra in regards to wls. Nilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
