    i would absolutely do it again. it's hard to get used to eating so little. your brain has to catch up to your body. it was worth any pain or adjustments. i had my surgery april 20th 2012 and have lost

  • I would do it all over again I lost 110 pounds in just 4. Months and I feel so much better now more energy my blood pressure within normal range no meds

  • I would certainly do it again - I exhausted all other avenues in the battle of weight - It has been a year today and I have lost 90lbs with 10 more to go - I am 64 years old and feel fabulous.

Thank you so much!! Its was an Awesome decision for me. I lost my 19 year old sister in an automobile accident 3 years ago and really packed the weight on. I am happy and she would be very happy for me also. Good Luck to you!!

I would do it again! I've lost 28lbs since sleeved 11/16. That's the most I've lost in the past 7 years& I'm under 200lbs for the 1st time in 8 yrs. those are major victory for me. I had internal bleeding, fell, ruptured a lap site& lost half my blood. Big whoop. That's a relatively small complications ( take it from me the surgical nurse). I feel fantastic. Even though I did not have the optimal experience everyone else described, I didn't lose 40lbs in a month. I still have to work for it, but I would never have kept these pounds off or had portion control or satiety without the surgery.

Absolutely I would, no questions asked. I have zero regrets, other than not doing it sooner. I actually was going to do it this time last year and I chickened out and decided I needed more time to think about it. I wish I hadn't have waited but I'm so glad I finally did it.

The hardest thing for me has been the head hunger. The sleeve fixes your tummy, but it does not fix your head and that to me has been the absolute hardest part of this and something I know I will always have to work at.

Yes I can it was not negative just what does not listen to so many other people and compare myself to them everybody is different and also I had to realize that I was addicted to food not that I didn't know I had a problem but I didn't know how serious it was

Excuse the typos my phone does what it wants to do sometimes
