Surgery is not bad. I had no pain only discomfort from gas. For me, I've had a harder time getting through the addiction. It's worse than quitting smoking cold turkey BUT I wouldn't trade it and am very happy with the results and my restriction. Good luck!

I was terrified going into it, but my Aunt died after having WLS (back in the 80's) and I didn't tell my family until the night before. However, I knew I was in good hands and not only did my research on the surgery, but also the surgeon. I stayed away from any negative reviews as I didn't want that judgement going in. I had a lap band previous so I knew a little as to what to expect. I was told the surgery was harder than the band, but I didn't think it was. This is not for everyone. It is a lifestyle change and have to be willing to give up an addiction. Just like you wouldn't bring a recovering alcoholic to a bar, you don't bring a recovering food addict to a buffet. It's not an easy fix by any means. You still have to fix what's broken only this gives you the perfect fitting tool to do so. Losing weight will not be the only thing you'll have to fix. It's the easiest, but the hardest is beating the addiction. With the sleeve, while your beating the addiction, you'll be losing weight!

Yeah I'm kinda excited for it tho how long was your process of waiting before you had the surgery did you have to wait so long?

I had my band removed in June and since it had ulcerated I had to wait for my stomach and esophagus to heal. I had done everything I needed to do for the insurance before my band was placed so all I had to do was update my psych eval and consult with the dietitian.

Im short 5"4

5'3" (if I take a deep breath 190 lbs. surgery is Dec 14' date=' Dr Ponce de leon. And I hate buying pants. Only time I didn't have a problem was when I was 124 lbs last year. ( with lapband). I'm currently wearing borrowed jeans because I refuse to buy any clothes at my current weight. I have a ton of skinny clothes barely a year old. My surgery can't get here soon enough. I don't even have a winter coat and have been going out and freezing... May have to go to thrift store for temp solution lol

I gotta ask, since I've missed a few weeks here. How are you feeling about your sleeve now? Has the frustration subsided?
