    Good point, Tex!
    I can't believe people think it's their business to say. When someone tells me they're divorced, I don't tell them "Oh, you took the easy way out, huh?" lol

    Ok--to be the devil's advocate.......Why is that a bad thing? If there is an "easy way" out of a health issue that plagues a third of Americans.....Great. Doesn't have to be hard to be good. I would answer a person saying, "I can't believe you took the easy way out." with "I can't believe you wouldn't if it were available to you--about anything."

    People like to have opinions about things they know very little about. This is true of the general public, which includes our friends, coworkers, family members, and maybe even ourselves. How many years have we all suffered being obese because we had our own stigma about having surgery? I know I'm guilty of that, and as a result I've wasted years of my life that I'll never get back.
    This surgery isn't something you do for anyone else. It's something you are doing for YOU - and that's the only opinion that matters. Be smart and make informed decisions and you'll always be a success.
    Good luck to you! Weight loss is not easy - no matter what road you take!

    I keep reading conflicting info about if the sleeve is appropriate for people with high BMIs? I am not sure of my weight, but I know I'm probably in the upper 50s on my BMI, if not even low 60s. I've got a lot of weight to lose and I'm wondering if this is the way for me to do it? I'm turned off to the lap band because I don't want something foreign in my body and I don't want to do fills. I don't want bypass because I'm worried about the malabsorption issues for the rest of my life. The sleeve sounds like the best option for me, but I'm wondering if I'm setting myself up to fail with it? Any High BMI'ers out there who were successful without getting a bypass or switch afterward?
