Hi all, I'm just starting this journey of getting a gastric sleeve. I'm meeting with my surgeon on Tuesday for the first time. My family is having a nervous breakdown over this whole thing and making me second guess my decision. Has anyone had any complications or issues? Anyone regret the surgery? Anyone fail? I don't know where else to turn to so I'm asking for some help. Thanks!!!!

Thanks everyone. You've been really helpful!!!! I really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate the responses and the warm welcoming!

My sister is the only one who is being supportive of this. I'm 28 years old and the decision is obviously mine to make but I have a close knit family and it's hard to do something they strongly are against. My mom saw her own primary dr today and asked him what his thoughts were about the surgery and he strongly suggested I not get it. So it's just made the situation worse on my end. Haha I've done lots of crying in the last two days. I just want to know if I'm making the right choice. I'm currently 272 with sleep apnea. I stopped losing weight because of not sleeping from the apnea and I continued to watch what I ate and worked out and took up road biking and unfortunately ended up falling and injured myself which landed me at 272. I'm just real upset with myself and depressed right now and I've tried to lose the weight so many other ways for so many years. I just feel like this is the right decision for me. Sigh. ????
