Surgeons say this surgery is the best one for morbidly obese ppl do you all agree?????

Wow my surgery is also scheduled for October 11th

I'm concerned about getting the band now because I have scar tissue from my 3 sections...ugh don't know which way to turn:(( now!

Thank you, best wishes to u as well!

Good morning all! I am 27 yo and confused at this point. FIrst, I started off wanting this procedure done.. Then my surgeon said by my bmi being 57 I wouldn't lose what I want so he suggested the gastric sleeve. I have read about how hard it is to drink and as a result being dehydrated, dumping and all that. Is there anyone on here who had the lap band with a bmi over 55? If so, how is it working out for you?

Finding out that I'm bigger than my mother and that I was at risk for diabetes

Hello I'm located in Chicago waiting on my surgery jn October!

I love this site everyone got s something in common and the list was great

Has anyone had vsg done at UIC??? If so, who was the surgeon and how was he/she?

I feel the same way im 27 yo as well. My husband doubted this procedure and now he just want me to be happy and healthy. Im terrified still but i know if i dont do something, i will have health problems besides obesity.....best of luck to you!

Thank you special k 1960 for the info:)

Oh wow, congrsts to u!!!! i actually have to reschedule my surgery due to starting a new job!

Thank you both

I was told it would be best if i get the sleeve because of my bmi being 55. Im scared str8. I have had surgeries in the past (not pertaining to wls) but im scared of the possible side effects that may happen.

Good morning to you all!!! Im waiting to receive my sugery date. Can anyone share with me what's to be expected! I have had surgery in the past,C sections....is it like that?????
