I have been thinking very seriously about getting this WLS done, however wonder if anyone has traveled this path & regretted it? I prefer sleeving over band due to refill costs, ability to eat smaller portions of everything, a perm solution and less complications. Thanks This post has been edited by kissy10: 25/08/2011, 04:41 PM

I'm in the process of getting it all happening here. To be honest, everyone I've spoken to have said their only regret was they didn't do it sooner.

Cool, that's what I thought. Because it is a "permanent" operation, my family are freaking out about it. What state are you in? I'm in Melbourne & have a few surgeons who have been recommended.

Nope. Not one single regret. I was 118.1kg when I started my pre op diet. 112kg on my day of surgery 1/3/10. I was 71.5kg a the end of December 2010. I'm about 83kg now, but as you can see by my ticker I am also 36 weeks pregnant (something I hope to achieve by having surgery as the fertility treatments were not working at all for me at the weight I was). Good luck x

Should we....?
~megan~ how does it affect pregnancy/nutrition during pregnancy? Did they mention what would happen long term if you get a chronic disease like bowel cancer or any other form where optimal and maximun nutrition is necessary. These are the mental barriers I have ATM...

I'm in Melbourne & have a few surgeons who have been recommended. I'm in Sydney. Check out the Gastric Sleeve Support Forum http://www.gastricsleevesupport.com/ . There are LOTS of recommendations for surgeons and lots and lots of questions answered. My husband has been very reluctant only because he's nervous about the risks of the surgery. I'm nervous too but I have so many health problems now that there are more risks to not going ahead, iykwim?
