Hi, I've been stalking these boards for a few weeks and I'm cautiously nervous about having the gastric sleeve....I was adamant for so long that I would do the lapband. After doing my own research I realized that the lapband was going to set me up for failure so I'm 90% sure the sleeve is the way to go.
I'm not looking to go down 100 lbs would be very happy if I could go down 75 lbs.... I'm Hispanic and I've always been heavyset I'm afraid to lose who I am just want to be a healthier version.
Here are some questions for you expert sleevers do you ever feel like you can't stop losing weight? This concerns me alot...very thin hair is the amount on hair you lose after weight lost surgery the same as after giving birth? Or is it way more? I have a 9 month old how soon after surgery will I be able to attend to her? If I get sleeved lets say 5/23 will I be ok to host my bday bash 7/7 or am I playing it too close?
All pre-op testing is done going to meet with surgeon this week to set up surgery date should be in May hopefully! Reality is setting in...nervous
Any help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance
