The right choice for me

By ann_franc

· 593 views

The sleeve is the right choice for me. I am currently 224 pounds, down from my highest weight of 265. I no longer have to take high blood pressure pills or the diuretic that went with it, I'm off Lipitor, I no longer need my cumbersome CPAP machine to sleep at night, my plantar fasciitis is resolving (no pain), and I don't believe I will be diagnosed with diabetes. Im staying focused on the right diet and I'm exercising on a regular basis.

 

When I first thought about surgery to lose weight I thought it was a bit of a cop out, but I don't believe that anymore. The choice to have the sleeve is an irreversible lifetime commitment and I'm learning how to live on this new journey everyday. I have no regrets and I'm looking forward to a healthier me. Godspeed to all of you.

    Congratulations! I hope to have no regrets! I'm having surgery on Dec. 12th... feeling kind of nervous about it tonight! I like reading about people who are happy with what they are doing! Good Luck and keep up the good work :)
