Hi group! I was recently sleeved on July 6th, 2015 and my quality of life has already started to improve! I suffered from insomnia for years and within weeks of surgery that was no longer a problem. I'm super excited for the transformation I have to look forward to! I hope everyone is having an amazing Thursday :D :D :D

Greetings everyone...I haven't received my date yet and I'm actually reconsidering it. The more I read other people stories the more I become unsure is that normal or am I just being a punk lol???

L.o.v.e, I believe it's a normal thing to be concerned, but if you have come this far why turn back now? There must be a reason why you decided to have WLS in the first place and you obviously need it like the rest of us here but you have to make sure it's the right decision for you. When you are sick and tired of being sick and tired you will do what's best for you, I wish you all the best and we are here anytime you need a ear. Good luck to you.

Hey thanks for responding. I definitely know why I am here and I'm guessing that this is a normal reaction especially with this being a life changing decision. I haven't been around too many people who've had a positive experience or maybe I should say share the positive that's behind it. I'm afraid of the what if and unknowns and I don't want to scare anybody else. It's just when I do the support groups and such their stories scare me lol

L.o.v.e. I don't read the negative stuff because everyone's experience is different, I try to maintain a positive attitude so that my surgery can have a positive impact. In my years on this planet it's been my experience that most of the things we worry about never happens and we just scare ourselves like crazy. I do know that things can go wrongs but I choose to deal with those things if and when they occur. It's normal to be concerned but don't let fear hold you back from living the life you were meant to live, this is a blessing for so many people and I want to add years to my life not just for me but for my family as well.

Is this a current forum? I don't see any new postings :unsure:

l do belive this is a current forum.

Good morning all!, Im so glad i refound this thread as i have named 2016 the year of my restart. Im almost at year 3 and have lost a little over 100 lbs. So far i uave only regained 10 of that but I lost it last year so now im struggling to keep a good maintenance plan. I need the accountability that as a food addict i cant give myself. Kinda like a fox guarding the chicken coop! LoL

My goal is to lose the next 15 lbs before my 3 yr mark. Daunting yes as my weight loss is now about my choices rather than the surgery......

Thanks for letting me ramble, youll be seeing me post again and if i can help anyone just let me know.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
