Lots of reasons, but the straw that broke the camels back was being so uncomfortable and miserable, one night I just prayed that I would go to sleep and not wake up. Realizing that my life was being lived wishing I was dead was a real eye opener.... Sleeved two weeks ago and down 23 lbs. Already feeling more comfortable in my skin again, and actually feeling hope for my future.

I haven't had mine yet, and obviously your Dr does things differently - but I was told that you can't start eating soft foods that soon. Like you should still be on liquids only diet until week 3 at least. What did your Dr say about Calorie intake and range?

Everyone keeps saying you get what you pay for. I bet there is truth to that in a way that if someone has been doing it since the 80's as opposed to the past 3 years. I've been trying to decide which surgeon and facility to go with and and I think there is not truth in a way that complications can arise from any surgery and surgeon and facility. I would like to think that if I am paying more to have someone - like a skilled and experienced surgeon perform my surgery in a hospital, keep me on an iv to administer fluids and meds to control my pain and antibiotics for 2 nights instead of taking me right to a hotel to recover with pills... I think I can make the generalization make more sense.
