If you had the choice to make the decision to have the sleeve surgery again...would you still do it?

Absolutely!! Best gift I ever have myself!!

I've been very blessed so far, so it is easy to say yes, but when I read about all the complications some have had, my heart goes to them and it makes me question if this surgery is really the answer....

Then I remember what my life used to be.... I was not living, I was dying. I would spend all day in bed, depressed, with a lot of back pain, and very ashamed of all my issues. I had isolated myself from family and friends. My life was a sad mess. So many times I felt this world was too much for me to handle... I did seek therapy, but nothing much changed... So when I see how bad my quality of life was, I rethink and I am almost sure I made the right choice.

I completely agree...I was able to go back to work a week post op and my heart really does ache and go out to those who have had problems. I can only pray that they go away for them and dont happen to the rest of us! I am only 20 and knew my life would be short if I didnt make changes. Thank you for commenting, It really does help and mean a lot!

Ummmm...let me think....ahhhh yeah. Without a doubt. It's hard, it's crazy and often sucks but I know this "discomfort" I am experiencing will be well worth it.

Yep if I could go to the same surgeon.

Yes I would!!! I do get frustrated when having problems figuring out what I can tolerate, or get weak easily. BUT then I remember how bad I felt ALL the time 50 lbs ago, how bad my food choices made me feel, and how horrible tight clothes feel. I am SO excited about what the future holds. Traveling, running 5 Ks with my sister, sharing clothes with my daughters, and shopping trips with my friends!!! Sleeved 12/10/12 and HAPPY !!!

i would not do it! i am miserable at 11 DPO. can't keep anything down except diluted juice. i am praying that a few months from now i will feel differently but at this moment in time i would not

When I look at myself and what I accomplish weight wise I would say YES!! But when I sit and think about cutting out a part of my that was normal and nothing wrong with it, not knowing the long term effects, all the vitamin and constant protein and also the complication that iggy has I deeply regret it to a point where I'm terrified about my future.

I would do it again although in the beginning it is tough I will be 2 months out on the 8th and still learning how to work with my new friend even though it does get frustrating at times I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely, I only wish I would have worked harder dropping more pre-op weight though...

No doubt! YES!!!! I want my husband to do it so bad! My dog could use it as well!!!

Yes, yes, yes!

Me too!

Idk my kids are sitting here eating Burger King and I haven't had real feed I'm 9 days now! Ask me again in 6 months lol

I am 26 days out. To be honest if I had not had the surgery and knew everything I do now.... No I would not.

I could not risk leaving my daughter with out a mom.

I would not risk losing the years I do have to gain some I may never see anyway.

I would not risk burying my family in medical debt.

I a m not saying this surgery is not necasary for some or that each individuals should not have the right to choose I am speaking only for me.

All of that being said I now find myself sleeved and I will make the most of it and brace myself for the finical onslaught of medical bills that will soon be flooding in.
