I new I needed help. I had lost 62but put back on 40. I went to a seminar and made the decision to have surgery but not sure what type. My doc recommended the sleeve of by pass. I decided on the sleeve and have been actively doing all the preop tests and consults. I started reading stuff on line and now I am scared and don't know what to do. I could not sleep last night. I'm feeling to old to have it done but also if I don't, I won't have the energy to enjoy my grandchildren and I will get diabetes. I was dx with HBP 2 years ago. I know I am suppose to make the decision myself. I on't mind dieting and exercising just don't want to live the rest of my life without some of my favorite meals and occasional drinks. I read about all these symptoms that people have. do you ever feel normal again?

I am 1week out of surgery, have lost 22 lbs in 2wks finally getting my strenght, ate some oatmeal very runny, but it was good to taste. Had my Thrive first thing this morning can't live without it has all the vita and nutrients and gives me lots of energy anyway I'm 59 and on my way payed cash for mine 10750.00 do not have ins but it's worth every penny to get my life back, researched and thought about it for 4 yrs and just finally did it, now my journey begins
