BP checkup, Dr says i'm killing myself, and recommended WLS. Bad back,HBP,Cholesterol,borderline diabetic, and just plain lethargic i have it all. now afyer jumping thru all the hoops, i'm scheduled for sleeving Feb.2 2011 I intend for this to be a journal of day to day ramblings on my journey through the processes and thoughts of my weight loss. Happy weight loss everyone! Dave

I SO enjoyed reading your story! It has inspired me to put down on paper, my struggles with weight(just for myself). Seems like a good idea for anyone with our struggles to do this., I know for me, it helps me see just how long it has been going on and what i finally had to do to get a handle on it. Thanks again for the inspiration!!! Sleeve date Feb.2 2011

Hello all, Been lurking for awhile here and OH. looking for pre op suggestions and tips for uneventful recovery.

I have been contimplating the surgery for 3 years now, just decided it was time to do it. Thanks, Dave
