I'm sorry that you are struggling. It sounds like you need to look at additional help for coping with stress. The craving for cake and the relief thereafter sounds like a serotonin deficiency. Don't give up. Seek additional tools and then try again!

Thank you all for your insight and answers. I feel much better armed.

Thank you for your feedback. It is reassuring.

So the classic question I'm getting is: "Why do surgery? Just follow the Post Op diet and exercise." Anybody think that could have worked? Why or why not? Thanks for the input!

Thank you all for the encouragement and advice!

Good to know. Thank you.

What do you miss about life before surgery? Let's face it: eating is one of life's pleasures. Do you ever miss eating whatever you wanted and how much you wanted before surgery?

Hi All. Until yesterday I had never even heard of Gastric Vertical Sleeve procedure, much less the benefits or risks of it. I have struggled for 40 years with weight. This procedure sounds like it has the right risk/benefit balance that I am willing to proceed. (Bypass was always too invasive and risky to me.) THIS site helped me to feel like I could get information from REAL people with REAL perspective and answers. The good and the bad. So, THANK YOU ALL for participating here.
