I'm wanting view points on the gastric sleeve. If you have had the procedure would you do it again? What are the long term results? I would like to have the surgery in July.

Tdh80,

I'm so sorry for your complications. You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery. Pls keep us posted on your progress. We want to support you while going through this difficult time.

Thanks! Hopefully, I will forget all of this one day and be happy with my choice. Just trying to stay positive!

I'm certain that you will. When I was 15 my appendix ruptured and I had peritonitis. I spent two weeks in isolation while they struggled to gain control of the infection. Finally, without benefit of anesthesia they reopened the incision while I was in my hospital bed. They were literally touching my intestines while I grabbed the bed rails with both hands. They packed the incision with gauze which had to be changed three times per day. Now that was a low point but . . . within a few months I was healthier than I had ever been. I was bouncing around like a normal teen and happy for the first time since I was very small.

Just keep plugging along. In a few months you'll be better than ever.
