Hope

[rianjohnson82 15]

I don't really ever post on here, but have been on here reading everything for months. Next month is my last visit and then hopefully I will get a surgery date soon. It gives me hope to read all of your wonderful stories, even the ones that aren't so positive. Because in all the posts I have read, even the ones where they is some negativity, it is usually followed by: still the best decision I have ever made. And this has kept me going thru all of the appointments and all of the hoops you have to jump through to be approved. No matter what happens in the next months, I know it will be worth it. Thank you all for giving me hope.

I'm getting my sleeve June 9 and I agree, the posts on here negative and positive , are always followed with, no regrets or the best choice I ever made , it makes me realize how important it is to feel good about yourself . And that great satisfaction of success far outweighs any small discomfort or problems along the way. The outcome is worth it!

Everyone's experience is unique, but I have to tell you that at 5 weeks out, it's been 100% easier than I thought. Seriously, if I didn't have 5 ugly incision marks on my belly, I would question if I even had the surgery yet! The first 48 hours post-surgery were brutal. By day 3 i felt back to normal. Yes, I have restriction and I love it! I haven't had one single problem I read about on this forum - no gas, no heartburn, no throwing up. My sleeve hasn't rejected anything. I hope you have an equally easy time!

I was sleeved May 9th and I'm the same way, my first 3 days was difficult only due to nausea other than that, no pain meds needed, no gas or heartburn, I haven't had any struggles I wish the same for all of the upcoming sleevers.
