I am trying to taste a few ......I went to smoothie king and ordered a strawberry gladiator he asked me which two fruits I wanted in it .....I told him none and he looked at me like I was crazy and told me that I needed to put fruits in it for texture and taste or I wouldn't like it.....I put strawberry and banana and it's really good! My question is, do you guys add fruit to it, or just mix the powder with Water or milk?

It's so good to hear all of this!!! It means so much!! I am just having to jump through all of the hoops for the insurance to pay.....but I am nervous.....but I honestly feel like it is a good decision for me......thank y'all so much for the support ......I wanted to break down acer my family attacked me with all the negatives..... It feels great to have support! Hugs and kisses everyone!

Yea, I know you guys are right.......they are just concerned .........I've learned that I'm just going to have to do it if they like it or not.......I'm printing out all of this and plenty of other things as well to present to them but I'm not showing them until closer to the date of surgery........I just didn't want to make a mistake by getting the surgery.........I believe it will be best for me but with my family constantly feeding me horror stories and trying to discourage me it gets hard ..........

I did a blood Test and tested positive for H pylori but I just took meds for two weeks and all is good

Yea, I know..... And I know ultimately it is my decision but I just don't want to make the wrong one......I feel like the surgery would be a blessing I don't know what it's like to be "thin" or at least just a healthy weight......always been over weight and I continue to gain......it's depressing thank y'all for all the advice! Does anyone have any objections to me getting the the surgery? Do y'all feel like it would be a good decision? I just want a better life....but I'm open to any suggestions and again, thank you all so much.

Thank you!!!! And yes, every little but helps......like I've said they try to scare me into not having it and of course no one wants to die or make a terrible health decision but I don't feel like this will be a bad decision......I honestly feel like it will be a great decision .......I am scared, but who wouldn't be?! But seeing all of these positive results really helps.....I read here everyday

I have GEHA and they are contracted with united healthcare..........I am currently doing a 6month diet program but I did read something ab 2 year history as well but my coordinator has never mentioned that to me either?

Thank y'all! I will def print this put for them to read when the time comes......it really means a lot!

Thank y'all so much! All of you have given me great advise and actually put me at ease about my decision.........I really want it thank y'all so much for being there for me.....it means more then y'all know

I have researched a lot and watched a ton of YouTube videos .......I haven't really heard that many negative things about the sleeve .......I was so excited about starting my journey but like I said, my family

Is terrifying me ...........I will try to get them to come sit in a class or seminar with me but I doubt they will be up to it ........I will try to get my support through this but I feel do alone ........I really want it ........does anyone regret it?

Hello everyone! I have struggled with weight my entire life........well a girl I know got the sleeve about a month ago and she has seen so much progress......soooo I went visit a surgeon in my area.....I LOVE HIM!!!!!.......he feels that the sleeve is a good fit for me.......but I mentioned it to my family and they are so against it.......they fill my head with horror stories......like u will experience malnutrition, it will make you so sick, it ages you, your hair falls out, you throw up everyday, your bones get brittle and will break, and you will die! It scares me so much and I hate that they don't support me........my family is my everything .......I really need help! Should I get the surgery? Are all of these things true that my family is telling me about? I'm 23 healthy besides my weight but I am so sick and tired of being obesed .......please help
