    I had my Gastric Bypass 1 month ago. I also wanted the sleeve.

    After speaking with the Dr. I realized that the bypass was the way to go for me. It has been around for over 40 year so they know what to expect long term. The sleeve is fairly new about 8 to 10 years. Also my husband did not like the fact that they remove your stomach. With the bypass it's left in and can be reversed if needed, but rarely is. The bypass also is a deterrent from eating things you should not because you will have the dumping syndrome. I hope that helps.

    I am 4 weeks out and I had the same experience. I even told my Surgeon, I don't believe he did anything other than put 5 band aids on my stomach. So now, although I don't feel hungry or thirsty, I eat no more than half a cup of anything at a time. If I go over, I feel as though I have morning sickness. But honestly, the surgery was a non event.

    I felt the same way. Did not feel like I had anything done . Lol. But, I spoke to soon. The gas they use to blow your stomach up really got me. It's started a week after surgery. I had my dr. Appointment yesterday and the dr. Said it can get in your tissue. It was very painful Thursday thru the weekend. Getting better now. 12 days post - op

    Wow, you are doing great. Cool. I'm close to my surgery date and getting weak in the knees. Lol. Good luck and speedy recovery. Pls. Keep us posted.

    don't feel bad! I actually was thinking yesterday, "are you sure you want to do this" Went through my head several times yesterday. I had all the emotions. Glad I am on the losing side now...lol

    Mine is December 4! Because I am a worrying I am trying not to worry something will come and cancel it. I need to relax I know!!! I have insurance approval so I know it's a go!!

    I'm always afraid to jinx things.

    I wish I had a preop diet to do to take my mind off things or feel like I could do something already!! 3 weeks!!

    I am so ready for this

    Surgery for me is Dec. 4. No pre-op diet either. :)
