Hey everybody! Finally went to my initial appt with the surgeon and went pretty well but he mentioned the sleeve as an alternative but at the end the descion its mines all my research for over a year has been rny and the forum and he throws that curveball at me and now im like really!? I tought he would recommend but he said its personal and that my bmi (45) is high but kinda on the lower side for what he is used to treat he said he wont reccomend the sleeve unless he thinks it will work without being so drastic help!! So torn starting educate myself to a second option any researchers?? About both or sites that i can check? I was so sure now have to see...

Good luck! God first everything will be ok! Best of luck positive toughts always! Whenver you can keep us posted to know your progress god bless!

Hello everyone hope when reading this your doing great : im juat starting my journey my first appt with the surgeon is apr 30th already did the first cardio appt my question is when i dont eat at a certain time of the day my body shakes im lightheaded dont feel good at all cause my sugars drops i work standing up for 9 hours a day and sometimes i dont even eat for loong periods of time thats why my metabolism is so bad ! and i wonder with surgery and less amount of sugar how i am going to feel? I dont want to feel sick or weak all the time is there anybody that knows cause i know that the sugar intake after surgery has to be minimal so HELP! I appreciate your comments have a wonderful day!

Hello to all! Question im new and starting my appts and approvals but always heard the same dumping what is exactly?! Is it like you get sick out if something you eat or its because you can eat anything sugary at all im going to meet woth my surgeon in april 30th and ill ask also but i want to hear from real people going through the process or that have experienced this before and last question why sugar will make you sick? Only ask cause i just cant sand fake sweetners so when the time is here dont know what to do help!

When i did my first seminar (im new at this too) i remember that the surgeon said the most success is rny the sleeve doesnt have too much time on the market and most importantly with the sleeve they remove part of your stomach so its not reversible just in case something happens God forbid!!! So u decided when i get my surgery ill go with rny best wishes and good luck!

Hey everybody!!! Have my first cardiologist appt next week can someone tell me what to expect and what can be next? Then on the 30 th is my inicial appt with my surgeon what to expect there too!? Help! So anxious about everything!!!! Thanks for your support!
