I WENT IN MAY SEMINAR ,DR APPT ,KOO,KOO DR .FINALLY APPROVED AND I AHVE LOST 20 LBS SINCE MAY.I AM THINKING IF I SHOULD HAVE THE SURGERY.

Hi Mandy, why are you rethinking it?

If you could do it on your own, you would have never been with that surgeon in the first place and you know that!

You have to do what is best for you, but know that you will not find anyone on this forum that regrets having it done and most of us would do it again tomorrow!! There are a few on here that are just having buyer's remorse right now because they have not learned how to use it, but those of us that are healed and have really gotten a chance to use our sleeves love them!

It wouldn't be normal not to rethink a thing like surgery. Only you can decide what is right for your body. I took years of trying to lose weight through extensive exercise and diet. I didn't want surgery, but when I slowly started gaining weight (after having my uterus removed),I knew I needed help. I will be having my surgery on 9-22-11. I'm excited about my new start, about the aspect of my efforts working for me, maybe having more energy. I hope you get the right answers for you. Either way keep us posted, we're all trying to fight the same battle here.
