Please help me to love my SLEEVE

When I started my WLS journey a few years ago I set my heart on sleeve only to be told later by all 3 specialists I'd seen that since I have a history of eating disorders that bypass is the only option for me as it retrains brain into eating healthy food and a right amount. I had done a lot of research into that and totally agreed with bypass. Moreover I met a few people at my local support group who had been struggling with sleeve (no weight loss, depression, etc). Well, I hands down i was bypass all the way for me... until a few hours after the surgery when I was told that all they could do was a sleeve...



I can't say that my dreams were shattered because I was just really happy that (a) I was alive (b) it was all over. But to be talked out of having a sleeve at first because it was no good for me and then get it... well, I am just not as hopeful as before.



I fear that I am going to stretch my stomach back, that I won't have any dumping syndrome (they say they don't usually get it with sleeve), that my appetite won't go. because at the moment I do feel hungry both in my tummy and in my head. Eating is painful at times but nothing I can't cope with if I am desperate to eat. That scares me. I have given up so much for this surgery and now I just can't afford to fail. :cry:
