I hear all the great stories after surgery and weight loss. I need to know everything! Has anyone had any complaints/complications? Please be honest.

Frustr8.... you’ve been through so much! I am hoping for everything to go great for you!!! You are amazing & I enjoy all your comments!

I’ve had 4 c sections, this was easier. If that helps.

And the older child can help sometimes with the younger child. I needed full on help for one week, and half assed help for one more, then I could muddle through on my own again, with people doing any lifting for me or errands here and there.

there are so many fears you have beforehand, which makes sense. We are cautious and want to be safe. But 95% or more of sleevers have no serious complications and the surgery and recovery go along very well. A very few will have one of the two complications and their lives will be a living hell for a while. Very few of us are thst unlucky. I have zero regrets. Best thing I ever did for my health. I sometimes still (almost 10 months out now) have to remind myself I’m not obese or really even fat anymore (slightly overweight). I don’t need the plus sized corner any more. It’s still kind of a surprise.

And @GotProlactinoma I am very happy to know you. I yearn for and am working towards the day when i am no longer morbidly obese. If I end up in the overweight ranking where my personal weight goal will still put me, I will still be grateful for the chance bariatric surgery will give me, I will use my tool,to the good of ME. And bottom line that is who I'm working for, although my family may reap some benefits, the surgery is still mine.??

@dfletcher1978
