Thinking about having this surgery....

 If you had to have this type of surgery again, would you?  Why?

I would, this is the best thing I have done for myself...I have more energy then I have in years, I look better then I have in years, I'm off all my BP & cholesterol meds, I love shopping, I feel better about myself....& the list goes on.

You have come to the right place to ask that question.  Best wishes & you make this important decision.

Absolutely.

I wouldn't have wasted years and years of joining weight loss centres, money and struggling all those years.

VSG is a no brainer.

I would have it again in a heartbeat!  In fact, having gone through the surgery, I would even go to Mexico if I wasn't approved through the insurance carrier.

Most definately! I've not had any problems.Sorry that I waited so long. My life is back. I don't avoid the mirror or hide from a camera. I sleep must better, no more snoring. Blood sugars are normal again. No more knee pain. I LOVE clothes shopping. The list goes on and on.

Would do it again in a heart beat. This has been the easiest way for ME to loose weight. In the beginning I thought I would never enjoy food again. I was wrong. I can honestly say that I can live the rest of my life on this plan and not feel deprived. I feel great, haven't had an complications, can drink and eat with no problems. I love everything this tool has done for me. I also like fitting into smaller sizes. I knew from the start this was the surgery for me and I fought to get it. I wish you the best.

Yes yes and yes. I would go through the entire experience again if I had to. No diet that I've ever tried in my entire life has kept me this accountable and restricted. My sleeve feels natural to me now and I mind and respect when it is satisfied.

Your food cravings will change but there is also a level of discipline it takes to change them, but I find the discipline is easier with this surgery than it is without.

Do it. Don't hesitate.  :)

Why? Look at the numbers below, 308lbs to 155 in 12 months. Enough said, lol. This surgery saved my life and gave me a new one that I can now enjoy to the fullest. I would do it again in a heartbeat and have gotten four friends to do it for themselves and every one of them thanks me every day! Now, don't do it because I tell you it's great. Like I tell everyone, you have to be ready. This surgery is 90% mental and 10% physical. This is a permanent lifestyle change and change in the way you eat. You are the only one that can tell yourself that you are ready!

I like many, regret waiting so long to have the sleeve surgery. I finally have control over my life. I control food, food does not control me. The pouch being smaller is just one part of this process. Other things occurred for me. I no longer desire sugar and hi-calorie foods, I am never hungry, and my taste buds love low calorie foods now. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who is obese. Best, Sharon

Thank you all! I am totally sold!
