I just got my referral to the UCLA bariatric ofc.- I have read about the 3 types of surgeries and think the sleeve is my best option. Any bad outcomes that you have heard of?

Welcome & You need to read read Did I forget you need to do a lot of reading, LOL go to as many classes, seminars,meetings as you can talk to the post orp people there Wishing you the very best. I am 6 out from having my surgery and so far so good.

Any bad outcomes that you have heard of?

All surgeries unfortunately have their rotten apples - the sleeve is not immune

there are bad outcomes for some people in the hospital, at home - post surgical reactions - this can happen in any surgery

most everybody loves there sleeve, very happy with it, and would do it again

i love my sleeve, it has given me a heathier, happier life

best thing i ever did

have even read from some who had problems, with the sleeve,and said they would still do the WLS again

talking to other people in support groups for example will give you some valuable info with questions/answers and their experiences

nobody can guarentee you that you won't have any problems

there are only two guarentees in life - death and taxes

good luck to you

Thanks much- it's a huge decision- so I will READ!!

Thanks Kathy- this support is helpful already.
