Mine personally is being dehydrated. I love water. So my goal is having to pee clear. But it's not impossible. I have 5 days out of surgery and I hate seeing orange when I go use the ladies room. Ooo and being constipated too. :-\:-[

The one thing that I dont like, although it is probably what normal people do, is having to think about everything that I eat and making it count. Although I am hard pressed to find anything that I dont like about my sleeve. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!!!!

I dont hate anything. Even the hair loss is something I don't take negatively. The sleeve has been my lifeline to such a better life. So I just don't dwell on my hair.

I'm very fortunate and have not had any issues what so ever.

Or people taking behind your back because you decided to change. I don't know if I should tell them truth about being sleeved or let them talk all they want. The sucky part is I paid my surgery. I told one of " my best friend" and now everyone is saying I should have money. I have a long story to say ... But my husband passed away a year ago. And left me in his life insurance and since then all his family has hate me. I just wish he was alive to avoid all this drama n heartache. I'm doing this for me and no-one else.

I'm do to have surgery on 7/22/13 and I have to be honest my biggest fear is being constipated. But overall from what I've read I have nothing to worry about, it has been a positive decision to have the surgery.

Thank you for the information.

I'm so sorry about your loss

I love everything! But I do agree I'm not a fan on the judgement from others.

The judgement IS the worst. @vane86. I'm so sorry for your loss & your husband's family's reaction. This is a hard enough personal struggle without having to add hateful inlaws, coworkers, neighbors or people you thought were your friends. I couldn't imagine doing this without my husband. He's been a gem! He told me I was always gorgeous, I'm just showing off now. LOL. I LOVE that man!

Yes I wish he was alive to support me. But thank God my parents are the ones helping me. Through it all they are the only ones who stay true.

Vane86, I am so sorry for your loss of your husband. It seems to me that it would be natural for your husband to leave you everything. You are his wife.

Good for you for doing something to take care of your health! I wish you the best!!

The only thing I dislike is the random questions I get from people I didn't tell. I told a couple friends & it spread like wildfire. Very disappointing.

I also hate the judgement. It isn't the easy way out-

Same thing happened to me. I teach at a small school and told one other teacher (who I found out has a big mouth) and I had to tell my principal due to the time off I took and now I think everyone there knows. Oh well, I guess it saves me having to answer so many questions when I return in August and hopefully look a lot different!

I refused to tell my coworkers because I don't feel like its their business but I had to tell my boss. Whenever my coworkers ask me what I'm doing, I tell them my nutritionist put me on a diet. My family knows and that's about it. I like to keep my business to myself.

I agree. I only told 4 people - my husband, my parents, and my trainer. No one else needs to know. I don't necessarily feel like I need to hide it, but I have NO interest in the judgment of others. People at my work are whispering, but only one person has actually come out & said anything. She didn't even ask, just said "I hope you know you're just going to gain it all back."

I just smiled - what do I care what she thinks? I'll be laughing on my way to a healthy weight!!

I am sorry for your loss! My fiance' passed away last year also and I've had to deal with many people watching and judging my every move also. I decided to get sleeved for myself and there is nothing easy about this journey. Some of my friends think my decision was crazy, but they have not walked a mile in my shoes! Most people who judge and gossip do so the pacify their own insecurities.

My only dislike so far, is that I don't feel like I can quinch my thirst anymore.
