A Sleeve4me

Thanks, I think he's beautiful as well..and he only recieves the most precious love and kindness from me as I give to anyone else..In the future speak unto others as you would wish to be spoken to.

Well If you want it here it goes womp , womp, womp!!! Any logical adult would have opted to have this type of serious life altering and threatining surgery at a reputable, accredited HOSPITAL Duh!!!! Go figure..I'll keep you in my prayers..tip of the day lay off the wine..It speeds up recovery.

I would do it again in a heart beat! I have more energy, my knees have improved without aching pain constantly.Recovery wasn't near as bad as I expected and It was the best decision I could have made for my health and well being..yesterday made 8weeks out and I'm feeling great. I was nervous as well but I'm so glad I did it.

If the shoe fits wear it..Stay positive and have a nice Day:)

Iggy Chic..looks like to me all you have done on this forum lately is try to discourage others from having this surgery and it's simply not right. Nothing you say can justify that and I WONT stand for that! If anything you owe presleevers an apology for your negativity and disgusting display of character."It wasn't worth the risks and pain","You would never do this surgery again", "You will always feel guilt about having it done"? Really? Stop it!!Stop scaring other presleevers!!!!!It gets better and you know it!!!If that's all you want to do here, find another forum! This IS NOT THE PLACE DEAR!!!!!.......................PEACE AND LOVE!!!

I'm not sure what would make you say that. This person is obviously having a tough time. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all! Have you had the surgery? If not, you have no right to comment. If you have, think yourself lucky that you didn't have these complications! You're one of the reasons I hate people! No need to hate "people"

I didn't mean to be offensive as I am greatly concerned, But being in the medical field as am I, I didn't expect to hear that a medical professional would seek advice here on such an urgent matter and then respond in a unurgent manner ..that's all. There are so many that come here before surgery to see if this is the right choice to make.Complications do happen..I'm not ignoring that..some just look for a cyber fight wherever they can find it..sad

The only "troll like" behavior is the one calling names.

Is this for real or is it to scare others from the surgery? I'm just wondering.

I'm sorry to hear that you are going through such a hard time..Maybe you should see ur doctor to make sure u are not dehydrated. I hope everything gets better.Hopefully the worst part is over and your stomach will began to heal and tolerate more.

I WAS OFF FOR FOUR WEEKS TO MAKE SURE I WAS HEALED REALLY GOOD..SOME GO BACK AS SOON AS TWO WEEKS. I HAD MINIMAL SORENESS AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN AS WELL. DON'T BE AFRAID. I WAS NERVOUS TOO.I THOUGHT ABOUT THE IRREVERSIBLE PART AS WELL AMONGST OTHER THINGS..BUT ALL IS WELL AND SO WILL WE BE:)

Hello, I just had the sleeve done and this Thursday makes 8 weeks.It was the BEST decision I have made..the weight comes off at a steadt pace about 2-3 pounds a week and I love it. U have to do what's best for u and thats be at a healthy weight. I didnt do it for vanity but for longevity of my knees and health.If them tossing out some of my stomach to avoid me putting food in it and gaining weight its worth it. Go for it!!

Looking Fab!!!

How many weeks out are you ? I'm four weeks out and I can't get much down, but the little I do eat fills me up pretty fast and I'm content. I noticed that if I stop eating at the first sign of fullness I don't feel overstuffed and want to throw up. If it's nausea try licking a little salt . I have made up in my mind that I will never eat how I used to eat. Take it easy and slow, slow, slow. I hope this helps and you feel better.

God bless you..I'm so glad that U are doing better!

I am scheduled to have my surgery this Thursday too..I feel the exact same way..nervous at times and the craziest thing is when I talk about the VSG everyone tell me they have never heard of it..weird..but we just have to keep the faith and know that we are doing this to make our lives better.I'm so thankful for this site. We are going to be just fine..I have to keep telling myself and the more I do the better I feel..Now when Thursday comes I hope I can keep this same attitude, and not burst into tears..lol

Hi Stephanie, did your surgeon repair your leak from surgery or what happened?

Great to hear u r doing fine..Good news is good!My surgery is next Thursday..any pointers..I'm nervous

Do u think it would be easier if u had pain meds to help control the pain..I am scheduled to have my surgery next Thursday and this have scared the crap out of me. Do u take anything for pain?

Love it..u kept it real..u should be a comedian..made me laugh and reassured me what to expect all in one. Surgery is in September,,thanks so much

I absolutely love it!!! Going through the process of getting scheduled..insurance approved me..so excited and this gives me all the more hope to succeed. I too was going to do the lapband..but now I'm fully convinced that this is the right surgery for me..Thank U so much for sharing your story!!
