If u could go back in time would u have your surgery?????

What are the hardest things you went though ????

Yes I would do it again. Surgery 10/08/2012, no pain, no gas, no nausea! So far I have lost 66 lbs with much more to lose.

Yes but I would be more prepared mentally and emotionally

Definitely without hesitation I would have it again. I got my life back! The energy it has given me is amazing. It has saved my life...now I'm living my life for real:)

Absolutely! I've have surgery over and over again! 6 months and 85 pounds= a miracle!!!

Im just so terrified i wont be able to do it !!!!

Wish I had done it 30 years ago! Aligning what my head wants to eat with what my stomach holds has been the hardest part. 4 months out, 62 lbs gone! Its not a magic fix, but the quick weight loss is an incentive to continue and the restriction keeps you in check.

I had no significant problems with or after surgery.

I read all ur stories and i get soo pumped and excited and i want to do it !!! And then all my what if kicks in and i panic and say yo myself " u don't need it i loose weight " then another 2-3 months pass by and I'm worst

My surgery is scheduled for 1/18. One of the things that really helped me was watching propel talk about their experiences on YouTube. Just do a search for vertical sleeve and ou should get a ton of results. It's so amazing o watch someone's first video and then their most recent. The transformation is amazing. One good one is verticalsleevereviews. Endobariatric is dr. Alvarez's channel and there are a ton of testimonials and before and afters. You can do this!

Heck ya I'd do it again!!! Without hesitation... I had a great post op- no complications whatsoever! Up and walking for distance 3 days after surgery. I'm just shy of 4 months of post op and I'm down 72lbs! I have gotten the self confidence to take fitness classes ( yoga Pilates kickboxing, etc) and I'm going scuba diving in Mexico at the end of the month. I sleep better and sex with my husband is amazing!

The hardest thing is staying dedicated but even that hasn't been terrible. If I need something sweet I have a bite of something sweet. I've always been a savory person so I like eating all the protein.

Honestly - I'm thankful everyday for this new lease on life!

Best of luck in your journey

Im just so terrified i wont be able to do it !!!!

Yes I will doit again!! I love the new me.

Without a doubt.... YES!!

In a Skinny Minute!! 8 mths out and 90 lbs down.
