Continue from my last post: Since I'm scared I may slip into one of my epilepsy spells again, I don't think the lap band would be something I should try, because my vomitting may cause the band to slip. Watching what I eat having control may help my life time stuggle with stomach problems. Do you think I would be better off maybe getting the gastric sleeve done? I live in Indiana so I thought about going to ST. Vincines. Do you have any suggestions for me PLEASE!!

Nick, I wanted to say you are a hero to most people by being as brave as you have been through your surgery weight loss journey. I really want to improve my health, but I'm am so scared to take the leap for a weight loss surgery. my current health issues include high blood presure, acid reflux with a narrowing of my esophagus and an hiatal hernia, arthritis, degenerative disk disease with a mild disk bulge, and a past history of what is called abdominal epilepsy which is uncontrollable vomiting.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I watched all 6 videos. I'm considering the Gastric Sleeve and watching some of the video stories that you and a few others have taking the time to do has been very reassuring. Many thanks!

I had lapband surgery and I only lost 30 pds, its been a year. I must say, it is a lot harder with that. I should have went with the Sleeve. You look great! Have you exercised much since having the surgery?

I'm a new subscriber - you look great! I want to have the sleeve and I've done most of my pre-op tests and met my surgeon...but they want me to try diet and exercise AGAIN for a year before they even try to get me approved. I'm so disappointed and discouraged.

Do you mind me asking how your diet has changed? I know you said you don't eat a lot of processed food...did you before surgery? How did you convince yourself to change? It seems impossible to me.
