I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter. Everyone had a horror story about 48 hour labors, delivery complications, etc. At the time, I wondered why on earth people would share such terrible things with someone who was so happy to be having a child. (I went through infertility treatments - the pregnancy was a blessing and I was scared enough.)

You know there could be complications. I'm assuming you know the numbers and the frequency. If not, ask your doc for that info. They are relatively small. And you have the story of every person here who had an experience that was uneventful and is thrilled with the choice they made. Like me. If I had the choice, I'd do it all over again.

People are idiots sometimes.

I'll never forget when my wife was expecting. There were complications and it was a high risk pregnancy. We both were on edge the entire time.

I can still remember the horror stories that people felt compelled to burden us with during that time.

Fukking idiots.

I don't understand why folks feel compelled to burden you with stupid stuff like that. Tell her she's a bitch for doing so and sucks as a hairdresser.

Besides.....you are going to be rocking a new body in short order....might as well have a new hairdresser, too.

Idiots will idiot.

Thank goodness that you are grown and do not need her help in making your medical decisions.

Makes absolutely no sense..expecially since its something we cant turn back the hands of time with.

Sounds like it's time for a new hairdresser! Seriously, screw her... like you said, you've already had the surgery, so what is the point of her telling a (probably second- or third-hand) horror story? Everyone knows that all the Time-Turners at the Ministry of Magic were destroyed when Dumbledore's Army fought the Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries, so it's not like you can go back and un-have the surgery.

Awesome !!!!

I became a Harry Potter fan while enjoying the movies with my son as he grew up.......now my wife and I still enjoy them.

Great stuff.

Sorry for the derail....but that was a cool HP analogy.

If I had a dollar for every person who knew a friend of a friend who had something bad happen because of WLS I'd be a rich gal by now. Her story matter not. I am living, breathing proof of the benefits of this surgery. I have lost 114lbs! That is a full grown adult women in fat! I feel better than I have in years!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
