    Re: ** Very upset and crying **

    I have come to the conclusion that many people are threatened when told you are going to be sleeved. They are used to you being one way and don't want it to change. My daughter has lost 50kg since...

    Re: C'mon give me the bad!!!!

    For me it was the emotional side that I was unprepared for. My recovery wasn't the best as I had a hernia repair at the same time. I went through a day or two of 'what the *** have I done?" and...

    Lunch - what do you have?

    I'm doing ok, but struggle with what to eat sometimes. What do people take to work for lunch? Sometimes I cut a wrap in half, add ham, grated cheese, a small bit of salad and tomato relish. I can...

    Choose who you tell. I have only told a select few that I trust. It's nobody's business but yours. This is not cheating and it is NOT the easy way out. It still takes work and that particular...

    Two of my daughters were sleeved before me. When the first one told me she was having it done, I sort of went into shock a bit. I had terrible ideas of what it meant, and thought she would...

    Re: Awful feeling

    Stay calm - it will work. You need to relax and take care of yourself - I agree with PP that you are putting heaps of pressure on yourself. Have you taken you measurements? That's a more accurate...

    Re: nauseated and depressed

    I really struggled at first. If you are still in pain you need to contact your doctor. Are you seeing someone for your depression? I had anxiety and increased my meds until I was over the hump,...

    Re: Wait, nobody said anything about shots!?

    I had two injections of Heparin for clotting each day I was in hospital, but that was all. I tried to get out of the one about an hour before I left to go home, but no luck.

    What do you tell people?

    ..to explain your weight loss? I'm not telling people about my sleeve - it's no-one's business and I choose not to share. But my doctor has warned me that I will bring attention to myself when the...

    Re: BMI 32 - would I be eligible?

    My surgeon recommends a BMI of 35 or more, unless there are other health factors, which you obviously have. I don't think you will have any trouble, given your history. Good luck!!
