I'm more than ready to do the work. I know it will be difficult, and I'm prepared for that. Looking forward to it actually. It's just the complications that are terrifying. Does anyone know what the longer-term complications could be? Like when you're 70 or 80 years old?
I'm in the pre-op phase. Thought this might be the right WLS solution for me. However, I'm reading all these horror stories about leaks, stents, acid reflux, not being able to eat at all. Now, I'm scared to death. On the other hand, I'm 5'10" and way 294, the highest I've ever been. Have no will power and, at 55, don't think I will find it now. Should be at goal weight of 160. That's why I'm looking at WLS. What is typical life like after being sleeved? Is it worth the risks????
Hi Teetani, I am just starting the process. Have my 1st office visit on 2/27/13. Selected Fairfield Bariatrics and St. Vincent's in Bridgeport even though I live in Guilford. Most by me go to Yale though.
