Absolutely. It has been lfechanging. I hope you don't wait until you have serious health issues like we did. It is the best thing we have ever done for ourselves. Good luck!

I would do it again several times a year (not kidding) if that was what was required to maintain my weight loss. Thankfully, it isn't, but yeah I would do it again and again and again if needed.

I am a peaceful person but if a medical team showed up and said they planned to do a takeback on my surgery (not medically possible ofc) I would beat them to death with my clawhammer and not regret it.

Sleeve surgery 10/19. BMI is on the lower end at 36. Lost 50lbs 5years ago and have put it all back on. Starting to feel anxious and second guess the decision. Would you do it again?

Absolutely. I started at a much higher BMI than you and am still at a higher BMI than you and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

My sleeve surgery was a freaking cakewalk.

Not thing to it.

I'd do it again tomorrow without a second thought.

I would do it again. Only 6 weeks out - hunger gone, down 40 pounds and more energy than I've had in years.

I wish I could go back and not do it. Just not a good choice for me.

I am sincerely sorry to hear that and hope whatever problems you have get resolved. For me and my husband, it really was lifesaving with the severe health problems. Big hug.

No regrets. No complications. All excess weight gone. Maintaining loss for 7 months now. I changed my eating habits and like the way I eat now. I love that I will always have this restriction. I feel like I eat reasonably sized meals, I just can't overeat which is such a blessing.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
