Thanks for your input.. Not gonna let fear control me..!!!!
The more I think about it and read up and learn everything there is about the sleeve I want it. I'm going to go into the options class and all the tests and MD/NUT appts with a positive go for it attitude.. I really want to be thin, comfortable and healthy. I don't want to limit myself socially anymore.. I'm super excited about the future and what it holds for me.. 2 ms is the class and possibly early next year the surgery!! Yay

Thx for responding Linda
Actually I don't even think I could maintain it let alone even lose the 87 to get to goal. I guess I'm just nervous and scared about the surgery, pain, and post recovery. I was considering the lap band to but too many complications long term.. I ordered the "big" book and I will study it like my bible.. And then at least I can make an informed decision. But glad to hear that you don't regret it and would've done it over again.. Good to know

Hi everyone! I'm new here.
I really would like to have the sleeve done. I'm 5''4" and weigh 232 lbs. BMI 40 with no comorbidities should I have the surgery? I'm torn because I think I could hunker down with a low fat diet and exercise and get to 200. But then Id still have 55 lbs to lose. I'm starting the options class in sept at kaiser woodland hills, Ca. I will see how it goes. The surgery is so drastic and just wondered if anyone else felt this way. Like if I got my head in the game I could really lose the 87 pounds without the sleeve, but then again I've tried so many diets and lost 20 or more and gained it back. I get so discouraged having so much to lose. With this tool it would force me to eat less and give me more motivation seeing the pounds come off quicker.. I just don't want to regret it. Anyone pls share, would you do it all over again or not? Should I go for it?
Thx for your time reading this..your responses would be helpful in deciding since I'm on the fence..

I have bought the big book on the sleeve and have been absorbing all the information I possibly can. I am still in the "should I do it" mode. I've heard people who have no regrets and ppl with the exact opposites having a ton of regrets. I want to go into it knowing exactly what I'm in for.. All I know is today I'm miserable at 231 lbs and 5'4. And I'm signed up for the options 3 month class.Even if I don't go through with the surgery I believe this class would be good for me.. Still indecisive, but getting informed!!! :-)

Linda,
I'm jotting all that good advice down now
thanks for being so helpful )

I'm such a newbie here.. I want to journal and take notes of everything in advance that has been good for all of you through this process.
I'm going to start classes sept 19th. I'm trying to immerse myself in everything I can to find out about the sleeve.
I would luv to know what worked for everybody.
In regards to hsp stay what are the must haves?
After surgery what are the post op liquids faves to have. And then the 1 ms post op foods/ Protein brand shakes, meat, veggies, how much?
Also techniques for getting all the Protein in. I believe 60G per day??
I so appreciate any feedback in advance..
Thx-want2besleeved
