I think is a personal choice but smoking contribute to alot of our health problems .. I smoked before pre op but about time I had surgery I was 11 months off of cigs .. I had surgery for better health some ppl just want to be small and getting healthy is not there main focus just my two cent agree or disagree my opinion

If your going through your insurance it is ruled medically ..

My advice to u is be honesty and just go for it .. That's what worked for me .. It's way too much work to keep this a secret but for those who work hard at doing it good luck to you

We had are surgery the same day I see you passed me up by 6 pounds ( teasing) but congrats to you sleeve sister .. I'm down 80 pounds and I agree w ya .. Great way to work that sleeve now when can we see the before and present pic ...

You prolly would be smaller 4months out 80 pounds

See yourself as a individual ..don't compare yourself think positive kno that there are complications but if it out weigh your health go for it it's not an easy choice but think who are u doing this for I'm four months out and I've heard them all and those same ppl are happy for me ( I think )

I agree .. And I like being thin so who cares rt ..lol shopping is my new best friend

But what about the eating and drinking thirty minutes after that's my problem I get full so fast either I done before everyone or done before everyone then everyone's ordering drink then I have to weight 30 minutes to drinks by that time we are leaving

You look amazing !! You go girl

But I still go out cause I've shared my surgery w all my friends it's too much work to keep it a secret it easier to just be honest

I live in Louisiana everyone loves to eat and yes it's other ways like shopping is so fun but still when it come down to the eating part of it it's uncomfortable for me like I said a waste of money or time but I always share when I'm out w my love

I knew pretty good bit of info before I got the sleeve but going through it is one thing .. The whole social thing going out to eat is hard for me I don't like eating in front of ppl you feel out of place oh my mother inlaw knows I've had surgery and she be like you have to it more cause when I dieted I ate more .. I'm like lady if could eat I would I told her do you not realize I'm not on a diet I had 80 % of my stomach remove its hard when u have ppl that don't understand but my husband does and I have a few friends that understand but going out is a waste of time for me but I'm happy Im 17 weeks on Monday and I've lost 80 pounds been at a stall for almost three week which I don't like but hey I feel so much better

5 pounds at three weeks your doing good dont compare yourself that great thing is that we are losing

You look great !!

If I could remember I think I lost 25-27 lbs

You should do a search I think they just had a thread about this a week ago you might find more info

I don't think anyone said its not important I think what ppl are saying that when it comes to losing bougie sizes is not going to make you more or less successful and we all entitled to our opinions and some or facts collecting all info agree or disagree it benefits everyone

I'm on a stall I been stuck at the same weight for 10 days

I'm sorry this is happening to you .. I wish you would have not changed your name because I like most addiction ppl had be hide things and in order to get better you have to face reality w how your effecting your health and if you have to hide be hide another name in my opinion your not ready to face reality it's almost like denial in another form cause your admitting but your hiding behind a fake name so as long I get answer but they don't kno who I am I won't feel ashamed of what I'm doing but I wish you the best and plz get help for this your in my prayers
