Forever

[Imanewme 8]

I was very stressed and anxious about my decision until I really put it in the right perspective. Would I rather deal with eating differently and all of the things that go along with the WLS, or the complications from diabetes (of which I'm hoping will improve after surgery). It was easy for me once I looked at the overall picture. The day I asked my PCP about the surgery, he listed off all the benefits to the problems I already face. It became a no-brainer. Yes, I'm still nervous about this decision, and will be until my surgery in 2 weeks, but looking at the big picture sure helps calm me.

I would honestly rather have a life saving surgery then die in my sleep at 30 because that’s where I’m headed. I’m going downhill fast I just turned 27 and it’s a miracle that I’m still here I won’t make it to 30 at the rate I’m going. So I legit told my surgeon do anything in your power to save my life weather it’s 1 surgery or 10 I don’t care just I have too much riding on the next 50 years

I am truly saddened by your pain, but proud of your tenacity!

The sleeve is forever, but at 3.5 months out, I already feel totally normal. Sure, I eat smaller portions, but they are no so small that they gain unwanted attention. I can eat what I want, although I eat healthy most of the time. I am already 20 lbs away from my personal goal and 30 pounds from my doctor's goal for me (160).
