Seriously thinking about getting the sleeve but have questions.

???

You asked for inputs, and, of course, you will something different, from each individual, as we are all unique..You get what you are willing to put into your life/health...

I was 44, when I had open RNY, over 18 years ago. I am under "goal", but has certainly had many rollercoaster times, on the scale...

BUT...I have NO DOUBT...I would be dead, with out having lost the weight, etc...

A motto, that stuck with me, early on (I wish I knew who to credit to):

Work as hard to LIVE your surgery, as you did to GET your surgery

I just love that

I love that motto!!

Every moment lived as a healthier person is worth it. I had surgery in October, and even if I only had 5 years to enjoy my new self, it would have been worth it. I would have still made the exact same choice.
