    So who is on April 4? I know there’s a ton of us. Anyone in the LA area? I’m nervous for my surgery even though I’ve had a sleeve so I’ve basically done this before.

    I feel I have so much to learn even though I have done sooo much research! You can get the sleeve done again?

    In 2014 I was 272. The sleeve was my first choice. I was very anemic at that time. The bypass could have possibly killing me.
    I am more balance mentally and physically today. Found out that the shape of my stomach is not correct. This alone has cause GERD. I also have a hernia and a few other things.
    So, it's time for me to move on, heal and lose additional weight. I am just happy to have this second chance.

    I’ve been hearing a lot about the revision from sleeve? You and I are both at the start weight of 212 did something happen with th sleeve that now you are getting the bypass. I ask because my surgery is April 11th and I’m getting the sleeve.

    April here!!
    Surgery is April 11th
    having the sleeve
    current goal last time I checked was 215
    goal is between 165-175

    I’m hesitate and nervous only because I have family members who say I can just lost it by myself which I have tried to do. So not a lot of support but I know I want and need this surgery so still going for it.

    Hey we have kind of close stats and same surgery date! I'm 228 right now and I've lost weight before down to 173 but I was on a appetite suppressant medication, when I came off the weight all came back... I get the same worries about people saying 'you can do it yourself, you aren't big enough for surgery'. My answer is 'well several doctors think otherwise'

    Yea I just have tried several different things even had liposuction at one point I know I need to do this.

    I had my sleeve done on a Thursday and went back to work the following Monday. I was extremely week though and had to sit a lot.

    I’m having mine on Thursday as well and plan on going back to work on Monday. I was worried if that was going to be enough time.

    I've been very fortunate and I haven't received any negative feedback for my decision, and I've told everyone about it who will listen lol. I hate that they're not supporting you. Our loved ones tend to worry about us, and I'm sure that's why they're saying the things that they're saying. You know why you're making this choice though, and you've researched it, so you know how it can help you. Best of luck to you. I think that you're family will come around the closer your date gets here!

    My mom has definitely said she will support me but every other day she says “you can’t just work out?” So I know she’s worried but I have down a ton of research and still going.

    Hi everyone! Newbie there and my surgery is scheduled for April 11th! I was excited for the longest as I feel this is truly what I needed to help with my weight lost. However my mom and aunt are basically just asking me “you can’t just lose it by working out and eating right? It hurts my feelings because I’ve tried that with no true weight loss. In the past I have tried Lipo and quick weight loss options so I can see why she may be skeptical but I’ve done the research and doing better with my eating. Has anyone else had issues with support from family? Did you push back the surgery and try to do it by yourself and just ignored them?
