It has only been six months and I have only one regret...that I didn't do it sooner!

I had the sleeve in 2010 and it never worked.i beat myself  up wondering what  i was doing wrong. Im getting  a revision  in 4 months .when i went to my current  dr he said its common  for the sleeve to not work for some and mine wasnt done correctly, from the very start i didnt have restrictions and i tried to stay on the correct  meal plan but i was always  hunger and got really depressed. So yes i look forward to  my second  surgery.

I would definitely do it over again. I had surgery 31/2 years ago with a high weight of 272 pounds,diabetes,high cholesterol,high triglycerides and uncontrolled high blood pressure. I was out of breath going down my basement steps and had pain in my knees and back everyday. Today I weigh 122 pounds and my blood sugars,cholesterol,triglycerides and blood pressure are perfect. I walk 4 + miles every day without pain just for fun. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!

Hell ya !!!  

There are things about the process that were unpleasant and difficult.....it's true.  But nothing even close to the misery of dragging around 100 + extra pounds and feeling sick, tired and depressed all the time.

A thousand times, YES! 

I was not only SMO and just disgusted in myself, but I had NO quality of life. I did not want to get out of bed in the mornings or get dressed or talk to anyone. I had no self esteem and secluded myself. 

I am only 8.5 months out and already I feel human again! I am a new person! It saved my life, I know without a doubt.
