How many people have got the surgery because of your success?



Recommended Posts

I'm wondering how many people you know that have got the Gastric Sleeve Surgery as a result of seeing your success?

I've seen 7 people now get it. 4 of my family members are getting it this year. They have said I've inspired them and I made it look simple. I've told them to use the surgeons that this forum suggests for the $3800.00 price. I've even offered to help them pay for it if they need it. I wish I would have done this 10 years ago.

I can't wait for all of us to get pictures this time next year and see the changes.

One person. She is a family member. Her option if this does not happen is death. She is high risk. Waiting and praying for her approval.

I know a couple people. They think it's easy. Lol. I don't want to discourage them and tell them it's not the easy way out. And I tell them to go to support groups and join this forum to hear that EVERYONES experience with this surgery is different. Some go through it like a walk in the park and others.....well not so much.

3 people. 1 friend (who actually had bypass, not VSG), 1 client who also went to Mexico and 1 daughter of a client who had it here in the U.S. Her dad (our client) hugs me practically every time he sees me because she is doing so well, getting healthy and feeling so good about herself. Claims I "saved her life".

Any time you can influence someone's life for the positive is a gift. As long as people realize this is a hard journey mentally, and are prepared.

I've had one person decide to take this step. She's in the qualification period and is already doing well. She has a 3 month wait, but has lost 10 pounds already. She's excited for her future, just as I am. We both have small children and wanted to be around for all the many milestones we'll get to see.

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
