I had my surgery march 9th 2022. I was 265 now im 219. The surgery works. It's up to you to want to be healthy, to move better, to feel confident in yourself. I lost me leg from bone cancer and had stage 4 lung cancer, sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis all over, sleep apnea and high blood pressure. This is the BEST THING I EVER DONE IN MY LIFE WAS TO HAVE THE GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY. It's not like you can't enjoy a burger or something from a fast food place sometimes. But this is TRULY a huge lifestyle change. Just have your mind and heart ready for it.

After my best friend died of gallbladder cancer earlier this year it made me more determined to be in good shape and not throw my life away. She was so young and fought so hard to live for her small child and her life was taken from her. There I was, smoking, overweight, throwing mine away. I quit smoking 2 days before she died because she was getting super sensitive to smell and I didn't want to stink. I havent had a cigarette in 5 months. In 2 days I have my surgery consult. I self dieted and got my BMI to 35.1 and am basically stuck here. Hopefully the surgery will get me past this and I can get to the healthiest I can be.

I’m 6 months in to the process and It’s really starting to sink in. My nutritionist started me on the pre op diet and it’s really a big change. I can’t wait to get the surgery and start my recovery process! This was a great video that showed me it will all come in time and to keep going strong 💪🏽 thanks so much 💕

I was told i should get it and just the thought of the surgery gives me panic attack and makes me cry. I can’t do this, no matter how easy she makes it look.

My surgery date is 8/20 top of the morning. I’m so nervous and excited at the same time.

I hope all is well with your journey! I am having RNY gastric bypass next month I was put on the fast track program by my insurance so I only had to do 3 classes and pass the Psych eval. Some people need the extra help especially if they have underlying health problems that make things harder on them. I am nervous but I am ready for my new life. It’s going to be a lot of work but worth it. This is a tool not a fix all. I am blessed to be able to get this tool.

I was going to get bariatric surgery in 2010 but I backed up 3 times and was already in the process of getting my surgery done I wasn’t obese that’s why I backed up on my surgery day i was really young and I was this close to getting into the process I did the process of bariatric surgery like 3 times I even did the classes, the testing and etc, but till this day my dr still offers me bariatric surgery and weight loss injections ‘ I did my research about bariatric surgery, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass for many years now 😌

[junerob]

They say if you reduce calories you will end up with reduced metabolism. This surgery makes you reduce what you eat (aka calory reduction), and yet they loose so much weight without anyone saying anything about affected metabolism. What is happening please?

This so awesome also the dietician looks like Avril Lavigne lol
