Your # 1 Goal is to be healthy I do not see any misunderstanding in that, you need to ask yourself is it really the procedure you are afraid of or the challenge on being healthy? Because it will come down to having a surgery to save your life as well as allowing yourself the opportunity to be healthy as well as get rid of possible health issues that arises from being obese. If you would ave had the sleeve it comes with possible side affects like all things in life there is nothing 100 %. The RNY is the gold standard and if your doctors thinks thats the best thing for your health do to your on going health issues I do not see the issue, I am sorry I a not trying to hurt your feelings but the bottom line is for you to be healthy because doing nothing does not help you. Good luck.

The best NSV moment for me is realizing the skinny lady in the mirror is me, and men run to open doors for me.

Congrats your doing great you got this and I know you cab do it keep us posted.

Why don't you take poctures of yourself and put them in a scrap book then you can see the many faces of you , I was like you until I started my many faces scrap book, I had drop over 100 pounds and didn't recognize myself u till I was opening the door at work and it was a glass door and didn't realize the skinny women in the reflection of the door was me. Your brain has to catch up I hope this helps you good luck .

I agree with the above statements 6 months seems like a long time but it flys by an during that time you are preparing your body for a major change you are learning to eat healthy, exercise, learn portion control and a lot about yourself. Use this time wisely it is so worth the wait and good luck to everyone who decided to be healthy.
