I'm 22 years old going to be going under the knife on April 2nd and was wondering if anyone want to be each other's support system. A little bit about me I'm a pilot by trade during the summer and I drive trucks during the winter. I'm getting the gastric sleave surgery.

Cpt.Brady, I'm 24 also interested in the sleeve. Definitely looking for support during this time of planning and pre and post op. I'm planning on mid April to get the sleeve if it's available. Otherwise the beginning of may.

Hi Harley good to me you.

I chose the sleeve because it's less invasive. Also, down the road if something happens to me and I need to take certain medications, my doctor said you have more option with taking pills with the sleeve over the bypass. Just a few reasons why I chose the sleeve.

Hi all I am 25 from the UK and was sleeved on 17th March and I can honestly say it was the best thing I have ever done. . It is difficult as the cravings that are in your head are still there but if you are strong you can do well. So far I have lost 3 stone which is more then I expected. Good luck to all those going for the surgery and if anyone wants to ask any questions or needs any support contact me

I chose the sleeve because I did not want my gut rerouted with a bypass, and did not want a port in my belly with a band.

That's the same reason I chose the sleeve... less complications and similar results

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
