Would you do it again if you had the option to go back?

Go back to where? If I could go back to when I was 30 and 125 lbs I would pick that for sure and do everything known to mankind not to ever gain weight and lose some to below ideal so as to have bounce room.

Go back to fat me before surgery? Nope. Would never want to go back there again.

Go back to the fat me and have surgery five years before I did it? Hell yes! In a heart beat. Go forward and have this surgery every year in order to keep the weight off? Absolutely.

I have three kids too and they were basically already motherless when I was fat and couldn't take care of them as I should have. Now it is much much much better and I am catching up! You will not leave your kids motherless. On the contrary you will give them the gift of a healthy active mother.

Leaks are rare...a ***** when it happens but from what I read they can be fixed.

Well said, mama! I need to be more active in my life, and my girls'.

Yes!!!!!

I would have the sleeve over and over and over. You wouldn't have to ask me twice. The recovery was easy and this surgery has changed my entire life for the better! So I say YES!

YES.  Wholeheartedly, unequivocally yes.  My baby girl wasn't even a year old, this was the only surgery I've had, and I was completely terrified.  My last pre-op appointment when my doctor asked if I had any more questions, I told him to not kill me on the table.  I have never once had buyer's remorse.  I'm still early out, but this has been the best thing I've ever done for myself.

how far out are you.

5.5 months

I am only 3 weeks out but I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely I would. I lost over 180 lbs, well over half my TOTAL body weight. My sleeve has been a great tool. I could barely walk before, now I hike. I am healthy, have energy and stamina. At two years, it's hard to remember how I ever lived like that for 30 years.

Glad to see you Mom4Jazz!
