Hey All,

I am so flipping conflicted! I really want the VSG, but I am SOOOOOO concerned about the memory loss. Me, being at the height of my career; being sharp, witty, and fast-on-my-feet (theoretically talking) is KEY to career advancement. Can you guys/gals give me your personal stories and tell me what your long term experience of memory loss has been.

I'm ready to take my life tot he next level!!!

m SOOOOOO concerned about the memory loss

Mike

as others have said.............

they/me never had memory issues

if that concern is the only thing holding you back from the WLS...............

i wouldn't worry

go ahead and "take your life to the next level"

have the surgery

get ready for the ride of your life

you'll be on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life

hope to see you on the "losers" bench (you'll be a winner though )

good luck

kathy

I'm afraid you're right but we mean well.

I know you guys do, you're awesome!!!

M2G, I'm glad you said that about the blurry vision immediately after surgery - I was wondering if that was "normal"! Not that it matters now, but it did worry me when I would look at my phone and it was fuzzy.

Yeah you are NOT alone with that for sure. It happens a lot, but not talked about much.

As for the memory loss...I wish I could forget all those fat years!!!!

I agree with M2G.. The few weeks after surgery is not a norm to base anything on. Not only everything she listed you have to account for the anesthesia effect on some people. It can last a lot longer than some think.

I forgot the sleever motto once....."never trust a fart." Never forgot again.
