$19,000
When that day comes in in June to get VGS I can get rid of hypertension, foot spurs and hopefully to lose 95 lbs from being at the weight I am in is 209lbs. This only thing and I tried everything nothing works and this hypertension,sleep aphnea and the foot spurs is making my life as a battle field and never win. After this surgery being 5'2 and weighing over 100 lbs is a heavy burden to me and family. My husband and have 8 children from young adult to infant I want to be healthy and see my grandbabes one day. I know personally this weight will kill me. DeShawna

Oops!!! Sorry...
My husband and I have paid for the surgery.
I have an underactive thyroid, diabetes and a fatty liver!
So that is why I am having the surgery done...
I have a step grandson who is 2and a half, I want to be around to see him grow into a man... :))

Dearest DeShawna,
God bless you for all the weight (both literally and figuratively) you're carrying. My excess weight was killing me too. So I believe every word you've said when you describe so well all the life that you're missing; now and potentially into the future.
I wanted to wish you the very best on your journey. Know it can be a bumpy ride. More so for some than others, but I'm here to say that this surgery was a tremendous tool for me and I pray it will be the very thing you need to reclaim your vitality, happiness and joy.
I will follow your story. If I may ever be of service to you in any way, I welcome you to contact me. I've been there, and I feel for you.
With all my heart,
Kelly

Big question I have
This is the question I want to ask fellow gastric sleeve members that went thru the surgery pre-op and post-op do you lose some weight after surgery and how much will you lose. Than I have another question my tia told me that my weight will drop very rapidly is that true. If you have any information about the gastric sleeve it will be greatly appreciate from professional and real life patients. Gracias

Yes you're weight drops quickly within a year of the surgery. And how much weight you lose is different for each person. There's more information on this site and other websites.
This is the best desicion that you ever can take.
