  18. @@donald0717 no one should go into any surgery with their head in the sand you should be aware of the possibilities of problems no surgeries come with 100% guarentees only guarantees in life death and taxes i think when people read 2 different stories about anything (ie the sleeve) they hear a great story then a bad story the bad story seems to stick out in your their mind/memory you've probably seen many other posts from pre-oppers that are also extremely scared the smaller % of people having bad problems are far and few between one person in particular has been going through a very rough time here being scared is normal/comman I give you "permission" to be nervous/scared that being said - most stories, experiences are good you've hopefully read/seen many, many, many posts from people that are very happy with their results their journey is wonderful i think some times people don't speak of their great experience, success, happiness etc PO maybe they think their situation is boring do we really want to hear more good things that are you betcha IMO there is soooo much more good than bad that will happen post op you were very excited/ "confident" about saving your life with weight loss surgery health and happiness are all what they are cracked up to be don't second guess yourself now, plllease good Hi my name is Debbie 47married 30 2'great adult kids and 2 grand kids weight 238 and I am 5.2 height bmi43 have hi blood pressure serve asthma would love to get surgery for the sleeve but not sure insurance will pay have asked and no one has give me the same answer I live in ma and have Medicare for insurance I have gone for upper gi test and blood work seen physician asst and group nutrient Schedule for behavioral health and to pa again on Monday
