  2. Hello! I'm about 2 months out from my gastric sleeve surgery, and I would love to get some input/advice from those of you who have been down this road before me. What did you find to be the most helpful mental, physical, emotional, and/or dietary changes that you made before your surgery? Would you do anything differently in hindsight? Do you have any regrets about the surgery? Did you lose what you thought that you would? I'm starting to get anxious and would love to hear about your experiences. Thank you in advance
  3. I am new to this forum, but am wondering if those of you who are post-op could offer some advice. My husband and I are both planning to get the gastric sleeve surgery, but our biggest conflict is deciding if we should both do them at the same time or staggered. We have one-year-old twins, so we don’t know if it’s better to try and get someone to help us for a little while and get it all over at once or if we should do one and then the other once the first person is healed. I kind of want to do them together because I’m worried that if one sees the other struggling that we might back out, but I don’t know if it’s doable. How long were you restricted on lifting after your surgery and how long after would you say until you feel like you would be able to care for children? Thanks so much in advance!
