I've been reading even asked a few I know personally that have had the surgery, but still I'm undecided. Mainly for the reason I'm afraid of the way I may look. I've seen many that look wonderful afterwards but as well many that look awful????not sure if those ones just didn't follow the post op directions as did what they pleased but it scares me. With that being said I did go ahead and schedule me an appt so I could ask any questions or concerns with a doctor(6/2) hope this help ease my mind????????

DO IT DO IT! It's so easy... I mean it's not like lying in bed eating cupcakes easy, but it's EASY. I highly recommend it. It has a 100% recommendation rate on RealSelf. I just got done on May 16.

TOTALLY do it, focus on your health more than your looks, though you will look great afterwards, but thing about everything you are going to be able to do….don't think twice!!!

I have no regrets. My food relationship has changed but that is a positive thing with no major emotional problems. I'm so glad I am on this new journey. Best of Luck with your personal decision.

I have no regrets but for me it wasnt and isn't easy. Everyone goes through this surgery differently. Don't get me wrong I am successful! I made and surpassed my goal in 6 months. I wouldn't change anything about the process I have been through. I am nine months out from surgery and I have to say it gets a little easier. Maybe what I want to say is it gets more "routine". Drink your fluids, get your Protein in, exercise and you to will succeed.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
