Along the subject of boobs How quickly do the boobs shrink? Will I be having to buy new bras all the time? Bras can be kinda pricey, especially if you have big jugs lol) Will I have to get a new bra every few weeks? My surgery is this month, so I am thinking about clothes after surgery.

@@SleevyWonder Yes I am going to Toledo Hospital. They just added a new wing, and the Bariatric recovery is there. Everyone is usually very nice. The hospital is the one thing I am not worried about lol

Thank you everyone! It is really nice having a place to hash this out I was able to get in to my Bariatric surgeon today, and discussed options. He said we can do the Sleeve, but for obvious reasons ( like you all stated) there can be more complications. I feel horrible flip flopping around on this!! Especially at this last moment( Had to reschedule surgery 2xs now)! I am going to sit down with my support people and work it out this weekend. I am confident, that whatever happens, things can work out as long as I do what I am supposed to do ( eating right, exercising, etc...) Thanks again! <3

Hello everyone, I am new to this site, and hoping for support. I have not had surgery yet- scheduled for 9/24/15, but I need to reach out to others who have gone through this. My surgeon's office has a support group but they are not meeting again until 9/13, and I would like some advice before then. Last week, after my EGD, my surgeon told me I could not have the Sleeve like planned because of acid reflux, so I would have to have the RouenY. This change strikes fear in me! I have been going through this process for close to a year, and now I am second guessing myself! I wanted the Sleeve because I felt like it was less invasive ( and truth be told, that I would be able to process foods more 'normally'). The Rouen Y scares me. Now I'm not sure if I should go ahead or cancel. I don't want to have surgery just to have it, especially if I don't feel right about it. At the same time, do I want to pass up this opportunity? I am ready for an extreme change in my life. People at work ( who I told because I need to have time off), and family, have been saying ' you dont need to do that (surgery), try this or that.' "I've lost weight by..." They make it sound easy. I am psyching myself out. Any thoughts? Did anyone experience anxiety before surgery and second guess themselves?
