(hugs) thank you so much!

the pain that experience brought me will forever be fresh in my mind. my weight was always up & down so there were times where i would diet & get into jeans between sizes 6-14 (my lowest from just dieting) but i always gained it back. lets put it this way, it was like having cancer for 2-3months. my bestfriends mom had cancer & would throw up bile because of the stent in her stomach & couldnt eat. what was different? only thing was, i had did this to myself! so no, i could never do that to myself again. i wouldve rather been up & down for the rest of my life than almost killed myself at the age of 23 which stressed my mom out tremendously! would i support someone? ABSOLUTELY! why? because i wouldnt want them to be alone as i was (i only had my mom but everyone else in my circle disappeared). also because i know about 10 other people personally who are sleeved & had no complications and are doing GREAT!!!! its funny because i read a humor quote the other day that was so true. it said, "i would do anything to lose weight except diet and exercise." lol. its so true! yes, we diet but then we give up on ourselves because our mind tells us to! thats like hs drop outs. school is just too much for some people. then you have people who go to college & become drs! WE COULD ALL BE DOCTORS IF WE WANTED TO BE!!! we just need to put our mind to it and do it. its the samething with weightloss. some ppl choose WLS for an easy way out although its not easy. but without trying 100%, they just give up & go for surgery. so no, i wouldnt do it again but im grateful for my health and appearance now.

i dont "regret" surgery anymore but i wouldnt do it again if i had to & i regret having the complications although they were out of my control.

i think its your mind playing tricks on you. im sure that without you even realizing, youre terrified of the outcome of this whole thing whether its what may happen from now to 40wks and even maybe what it will be like when your joy is born! every baby is different (im in the childcare field) so all the info that you have on other babies may not even apply to yours! so dont worrry! ull know what your baby needs & doesnt need & what it may want & dont want. PERFECT EXAMPLE: i feel that huggies is the best diapers for babies. i would only WANT to buy huggies when i have kids but when my cousin was a baby, she was allergic to huggies & developed a yeast infection! she could only use cheap brands. see what i mean? lol

omg really? aw! im glad that i helped you make the decision to become healthier! i wish you the best in your journey & pray everything goes well for you love!

i had astent placed through my mouth & into my stomach. made me soooooo sick! i didnt eat for over a month and i threw up bile about 12x a day. it shifted 2x and i had 3 emergency procedures for them to fix it. smh.

i wish they wouldve chose this option for me! instead, for my leak they placed a stent which made me incredibly incredibly sick!

im almost 10months post op. my first 3 weeks were HORRIBLE!!!! i felt like crap. i was so weak & keeping up with my Fluid and food was a full time job! it sucked. i was so weak and out of it. after eating mushies, i felt better but then threw up bile 2x during week 4-5 & then was diagnosed with a leak. i went thru hell!!! almost died! but after the leak, i was soooooo much better! im now down 118lbs & i have 20 more lbs to lose before hitting goal.

just a little update! ill be 10months post op in 1 week & i am officially 156lbs! that means a total of 117lbs lost. 21 more lbs to go

i def agree that the rate must be higher than just 1% but we will never know. sometimes leaks heal on their own and are never found because of no symptoms! crazy stuff
