  1. I'm pretty scared about all of it. I have 6-year-old twins and I am telling them this week about the surgery. I don't want them to worry and I don't want them to think fat is bad. I'm scared about the actual surgery then so so scared about the initial recovery. THEN, the after. How long until I feel normal after surgery?


    I have a 6 and 7 year old boys. I've told them about my upcoming surgery and they said they like me how I am. But I explained what issues being overweight can cause and has caused. I have co-morbidities and the chances of them disappearing after surgery are high. Also, by having surgery, I can be more active with them.

  2. Had my sleeve done august 29, 2017. Im here for anyone who has questions before and after procedure of the sleeve. Im 6 months out and willing to lend an ear or advice to the best of my abilities, i really didnt have anyone when my journey began so would like to be there for you. My highest weight was 277 lost 50lbs on my own then gained then gained 30lbs right back, so i decided to have the sleeve. I was 244 the day of surgery, and now im at 181. I live in Independence Missouri and im 46 years old. I included before surgery pic and after, im so happy with my decision and would love to share my experiences this far.

    I'm looking forward to my surgery but I'm scared of failing after I'm able to eat.

  3. After a year of fighting with my insurance, going to do many pcp visits, the psych evaluation, I'm scheduled for surgery on April 3rd. I start my 2 week liquid diet on March 20. I went to GNC yesterday for Protein Powder and the weekend before my liquid diet starts, I'll go grocery shopping. This feels surreal, yet I'm overcome with emotions, fears, planning too far in advance.
