So I get sleeved on Monday. Not scared yet. But I am worried about failing again. I'm also know that some people are looking for me to fail. Just coworkers not family. But today my attitude toward them will change. I will not only succeed for myself but I will prove them wrong. And be cute while doing it !!!

I think all of us who are sleeved have thought the same.... I'll be the only one it doens't work for, nothing else worked so why should this??

Put it away..... box that thought up and mail it with no return address - it won't be you. You will rock your sleeve!! And you will make jaws drop when you walk into a room in the months to come.

Good luck for Monday.

THERE IS NO QUESTION..... IT WILL WORK. :tongue_smilie: Remember your surgeon is cutting 2/3 of your stomach off and it is gone forever. Again no question....it will work. Good luck and best wishes on Monday.

I'm in the same "secretly worried I will be the 1 person this doesn't work for" boat. But we gotta believe. Look at all the amazing success stories and pictures on this forum! Good luck with your surgery and the road to your new life!:001_smile:

This will work ... you will not fail ... YOU SHOW THEM!

Here's my experience that I posted this morning http://verticalsleevetalk.com/vertical-sleeve-gastrectomy-surgery-vsg-success-stories/8525-today-7-months-out-64-2-pounds-gone.html

We all think that---I STILL have that thoght in the back of my head, 6 weeks out. But I just ignore it and keep doing what the doc says. I've screwed up a few times, but I always lose or stay the same if I screwed up, but I never gain. That's proof enough for me. This WILL work. For you and for me.

I mean, look, my screwup was to have 1,200 calories one day. That's a Weight Watcher's diet calorie count! Our stomachs are so small that even when we blow it, it's not epic like before surgery, and you just start fresh the next day. It HAS to work. Even our screwups are foolproof (as long as they aren't habits)!

So, VSG WILL work for you.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
