Even with my 2nd go at it, I'm still nervous! If I wasn't I'd be concerned.

Congratulations! I started following you on FB a few days ago. It's truly amazing what you've accomplished so far. I wish you nothing but great success, I know you will do great!

Why has it been so long if you don't mind me asking?

Why not the Gastric Bypass? If you had the sleeve once.

I started in winter 2014 with 1 surgeon but in summer 2015, I didn't think we were on the same page any longer. So I went to another surgeon and in Nov 2015 attempted VSG, but it had to be aborted after 3 incisions were put in me. They had issues keeping me inflated enough to operate safely. So I allowed myself to heal and continue to lose weight since November, and am now making my 2nd go at VSG surgery.

My last sleeve operation was aborted after they put 3 incisions in me. They had to abort the surgery, so I never got the sleeve done.

Still a go?
