Forever

Am I the only one freaking out that the gastric sleeve surgery is forever? I can't even picture myself married forever lol. So yeah, forever is a long time! Anyone have the sleeve for a few years and how's it going? I'm new here. Thank you!

    I don't mean to be an @$$, but I never thought of myself as being fat forever either, couldn't imagine it. I always thought I'd lose it, one way or another. But it became increasingly obvious that if

Thank you! I always put my children first but now I need to put myself first and like you said, focus on the good! Love that!

definitely!

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).
