praying for you. let me know how your experience was. i am in talks with a rep of his. and please....take plenty of pics!

will not have this surgey. i confronted my doc regarding his knowledge of the sleeve and he went on to inform me that he 'treats' several vsg patients for malnurishment, vision problems, migraines and such. it seems there is a price to pay for everything and the potential long term costs for this surgery is way too high for me. and i suppose i am vain! i'd rather keep my beautiful hair than lose it to be in skinny jeans. best wishes to you all.

i wish there were a couple of ladies i could go with! have a lot to think about. honestly i have only found 1 person on the net who regrets this and feels she is wasting away (although i have come to understand that drinking milkshakes can stop weight loss) and not to mention the MANY american docs and nurses who are secretly getting this done! (smile) thank you for this forum and yes, for those who are forced to go to beautiful mexico always let me know your thoughts. they say 90% of what we fear never comes to pass. pray that's true here too!

weight is 265. he says he will not clear me as i have 'enviable' health. i could lose him as a doc too, after 21 years.

i'm scared to death to have this surgery. i have no health issues, just fat. so if something happens to me it will be at the total cost of vanity. my doc will not approve me to have this as he feels that cutting the stomach is 'never something anyone should consider to do', so i would have to go to mexico which also scares me into literal death. can i live with half a tummy? does God want me to do this? what if i die? 10-20 years out what consequence will i pay for not having the gherlin hormone which also supports memory and growth? at what cost do i want to be skinny? why don't i love my fat-healthy self? someone help!!!!!!!!!!!
