leebick 448 Posted September 15, 2018 I've been reading the boards today as it's the second anniversary of my surgery; I was sleeved 2 years ago today! I'm down 104 pounds, my surgical team is pleased, and I am so happy with myself now! Yes, I am still learning, every day, but it's a good learning. I've stayed on track, I've fallen off the cart and made my mistakes, but I feel like I am always moving forward. PLEASE... if you are anxious, scared, nervous about having the surgery, don't talk yourself out of it. Is my life perfect since surgery? No, but I am SO MUCH HAPPIER with myself and with who I am. Please have the confidence to know you can do this, know you can stick to your program even through the harder times around your surgery. Being sleeved was the best thing I've ever done for myself, and only wish I'd done it ten years earlier!! 9 1 1 J San, BostonWLKC, Wanda247 and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J San 1,071 Posted September 15, 2018 Congrats on keeping on it for two years. Great motivation for those that have worries. I had very few doubts pre surgery and post have had none so far. It's all a new experience to me and I couldn't be happier with my choice. If felt like I was at the end of my rope with my old stomach/old me and the only thing left to do was fall. So glad this surgery came into my life. Also huge CONGRATS on your weight loss!!! 1 John Kitsu reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreamingofasleeve 89 Posted September 17, 2018 I love reading positive posts. I am so scared of what can happen after surgery. Vitamin deficiencies, protien deficiencies, gerd, loosing too much weight... Ect. I have worst case scenario brain. I am so scared but I know this is what I need to push me in the right direction. Do you have any issues 2 years post op?Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
