  1. I'm having my sleeve this Tuesday and I finally told the one sister who I know would be very against it. I said I want to tell you about something that I'm doing next week. I told her I was having gastric sleeve surgery. In her loud accusatory voice she said why are you going to do that. In a louder authoritative voice I told her because I was tired of feeling like crap, because of my sleep apnea, blood pressure and feet! She backed down real quick! She then said, well she wouldn't want to get that skinny, to which I replied I'm doing it for my health not for looks and that's the truth! She was fine after that! Be firm with these nay sayers and they'll back down, or they should...lol! Good luck!


  2. I'm 52 and having my sleeve on Jan 26th. I'm about 205 now and highest weight was 212 and I'm only 5'2. I'm so close to backing out. I'm so scared of afterward and not getting enough Protein and becoming protein deficient. I'm also very nervous about getting sick and throwing up and just general nausea some experience after surgery. I also have IBSC and am wondering how that's going to go now. Then I think about how out of breath I seem to be by just taking a shower.

    I've only told my kids, husband and three close friends(2 of which have been showed)about the surgery. I don't want to hear all the negative comments. I haven't even told my sister's and probably won't until it's over and done with.
