    2nd stage of OP

    If my weight loss did come to a full stop before i reached my goal weight i might consider having the switch but at the moment the cons of it out weight the pros imo. I Just hope the consultant thinks i am doing well enough to stick with just the sleeve.

    I'm worried about my desision!

    The chances of actually dieing are very very small, You hardly ever hear of people dieing from the surgery, i have only heard of 1 person dieing and that was from the person not being able to eat. I was over 34 stone when i was operated on and im still here to tell the tale.
