summerseeker 2,237 Posted November 24, 2022 Well its exactly one year since I got my sleeve. I am so glad that I was able to do this. I cannot believe the difference in myself. As the pounds fell off, I gained my independence and gained myself-esteem back. That alone was worth every penny it cost me. I was beginning to become a hermit, happy to stay home and never face anyone again. Yes, the preop diet was hard. I was sick and nauseated for weeks after and my recovery was slow. Would I do this again? in a heartbeat, I wish I could have done it years ago. If you are thinking about the surgery and are still on the fence. If I could do this, you can too 5 4 gojackets, Tomo, SemperVeritas and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spinoza 1,452 Posted November 28, 2022 Happy surgiversary summerseeker!! I had my sleeve the week before you (as you know). It's been great to have so many people here going through the same things at the same time. You've done amazingly well because you've worked so hard - enjoy every minute of your celebratory weekend. 🤩 2 GreenTealael and summerseeker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
