Wisdom... Hmmmm... Just do it! No that's not right.. Let's see wisdom.... Today is my year anniversary of the sleeve. I am happy healthy and have hope for a future. I was close to death last year I felt it every time I climbed the stairs at my home. I called my pcp made an appointment and told her I need real help. She referred me to a great surgeon. From there I looked at all the surgeries and learned the sleeve was the right choice for me. And I haven't looked back.

Its work, trust me you don't just sit back and let the weight drop off but it's a real solution to morbid obesity

And the 25th? that's right around the corner! Just think this time next year you will be in such a happier healthier place.. And trust me the year flew by! Such a short time but so many changes. Hell I was just telling someone today I not only feel so much better (no more meds) But sometimes I even feel downright sexy Lol it's funny just to say it

[Spicy3 11]

Oh I'd love to feel sexy!! Excited to be on the path to health!

It's SO worth it!! Best thing I ever did!! I'm 8 wks out, down 52 lbs & jogging 2 miles 4 times a week. I've never exercised but something clicked in me & now I'm hooked on how good I feel & look. Good luck to you all!

I have my final dr aPt tomorrow.. Should be getting my surgery date this week or next. Debating between 12/20 or 12/27. I have 3 kids so I'm not sure if right before or right after Xmas is better. Getting excited...and nervous... Lol.

It's your choice but I'd chose the 27th after Christmas! I was required to stay in the hospital for a week and you wouldn't want your family celebrating Christmas in the hospital if for some reason you had to stay.

[need2bthin! 235]

I say JUST DO IT!!! I'm 4m out and 65lbs lighter! I'm 40lbs from my personal goal!!

[Lioness813 52]

Thanks need2bethin...I'm leaning towards the 27th. Excited and nervous all in one... Lol.

I'm so worried about down time I have a high level job and down time has to be minimal , how was the recovery , oh and p.s I'm a big baby when it comes to pain ? On a scale of 1 to omg what did I do. How would you rate it. ,

Recovery sucked for me and was a breeze for my best friend. Everyone is different. I can assure you, a lifetime of health far outweighs the maybe 3 weeks of hell. My friend and I grew up together and have always struggled with our weight. We both agree this is the best thing we've ever done for ourselves! I'm a year out now, down 106 pounds, down 10 sizes, from a 47 inch waist to a 36. I can exercise, I have energy, and I can for once in my life wear cute clothes! Every aspect of my life has improved. The greatest change is my confidence. For the first time ever, I feel worthy to live the life I deserve.

Thank you for your kind words , and your right a couple of weeks for a life time of health. Your very wise. !
