    Surgery is just a tool and won't help you with the head hunger or choosing wrong foods to eat or night eating. Have you thought about going to the group therapy classes offered by your surgeon's office? The head hunger is more of a battle than physical hunger.


    Yes the last time I tried for surgery I did the group therapy and it was wonderful and I plan and going again

    It sounds like you might benefit from talking to a therapist that specializes in bariatric patients. One thing the surgery won't do is prevent you from eating the "worst food." You will still be able to eat unhealthy food with your sleeve. If I get hungry during the night I drink almond milk because it's filling and low calorie. To lose weight, sleeve or no, you will need to eat a healthy, low-calorie diet.


    I think as long as I keep something healthy I can grab I’ll be find and I love almond mild too 💗

    pretty much nobody dies from this. Weight loss surgeries are very safe these days - it's not like it was back in the 60s or 70s. Mortality rate on RNY is 0.3%. VSG is even lower (I can't remember that one since I didn't get VSG, so I wasn't paying attention). At any rate, you have at least a 99.7% chance of pulling through just fine. And you will!


    Thank you it is really on my Mind but my surgeon is one of the best in NY they say ! So I’m excited for my appointment on Wednesday 💗

    This is my 3rd time going for the sleeve , I’ve mentioned this before! I was so afraid of dying during surgery the first two times . Yes that fear is still there of course but my want of a better life is more than this fear !!! Right now I’m concerned about my willpower! I eat fine during the day no cheating no over eating! But when I wake up in the middle of the night I go crazy for carbs and the worst food ☹️

    When I lost weight before I was down to a 18 and I looked really good ! People were complicating me and I felt good !! My now ex husband never made a comment or statement 🙄 This is my 3rd time going for the surgery ! I think the first 2 were because every dr said I needed it ! I have Epilepsy with uncontrollable seizures and the last 2 times my seizures stopped my surgery! This time I want it for me and for making me happy and healthy!! The sad thing is yes I’m really fat and people are judging me from that ! If I was skinny I would be noticed more ! Society is not fair but life only happens once and I had a crappy 25 years and I want the next chapter to be wonderful!!!!

    Wow what an ordeal you have been through! I have been trying to get the surgery for years ! Every time I go through the whole process I end up having a seizure! I have epilepsy with uncontrollable seizures, a heart condition , severe neck and back Chronic pain from falling from my seizures. I am trying again this month to start the process and am terrified! I hope someone on here can give you great advice 💗

    Both my neurologist my cardiologist and my primary all have said I need this! I’ve tried everything! My BMI is 52 from what I read every one else has much lower and they had the surgery! Since I have already been approved twice and had seizures that canceled it and the negative comments! I have told nobody not even my mom or my kids that I’m thinking about this ! For the first time in my life I feel I need to do this for me ! I haven’t worked in 4 years I can’t stand for more than 10 min my arthritis is so bad in my lower back and knee ! My kids think I’m worthless and never want to help me I can’t live with this constant pain and depression because I’m fat 😭 I just thought I wasn’t fat enough but I guess I am ☹️

    So since 2016 I have been approved for weight loss surgery twice ! Each time it was canceled due to a seizure I had ! I have uncontrollable seizures ☹️. I’ve tried so hard to lose this weight on my own I get 5-10 lbs down but that’s it ! I have 200 to lose ! When they were canceled I was like there’s your answer but I keep getting more miserable and my arthritis hurts I can’t stand or walk very much ! I have kids and a grandson and I haven’t worked in 4 years I’m 46 and want my life back !!!! Any thoughts????
