  1. I have the same thoughts too. Excited but nervous/scared pretty much sums it up for me.
  2. OH and my biggest fear is a leak. The stories of those who had one are scary!! What helped you make your mind up to still do the surgery even with the chance of a leak?
  3. Sounds like sleeve is a big hit everywhere I look. So a couple of questions....How long we're you in the hospital? Returned to work when? Is it true capacity is only an that of an egg? I've heard the grehlin hormone stories that you aren't hungry with the sleeve, is this true too? Does no one miss being able to enjoy eating? I mean I want to be able to sit down at thanksgiving and Christmas and enjoy a few bites. Are there foods you can no longer eat because of the sleeve? Sorry for so many questions, just need to hear from those who have had the surgery than from people who haven't. Thanks!!
  4. For those of you who are post plication surgery, would you do it again? Do you feel like you chose the right surgery? I'm having a hard time deciding between the plication and the sleeve. One day I'm all in for the plication. Then I'll read something that makes me want the sleeve. Just not sure what factors I should really use to make my decision. Surgery date is scheduled so I need to make up my mind!
