Hello, story sounds similar except I am much older than you. I went to a seminar in 2011 and now two days ago for hopefully mid august surgery. I am also determined to make time for me. Good luck. I am on a low carb, high protein diet and have lost almost 10 lbs in a few weeks. I agree the lapband is not a choice I want to make. I feel confident the sleeve is a good fit for me and my goals. Keep on track and keep in touch.

Rootman-thank you for replying. I am hoping to make friends on here that don't mind a few questions now and then. May I ask you questions in private messages since you are post op and have had significant weight loss? Let me know if I can message you; thanks!

oh thank you for the reply. tell me more about your experiences with bariatric surgery please. Did you have the sleeve yet?

Hi. I have been overweight significantly for about 15 years, but have always had too much weight since early childhood. I am considering the gastric sleeve as my surgery. Or the lap band. I am not sure which one yet. I have a seminar in two weeks to attend. I went to it once before but it was over a year ago. I am scared but I am more scared of the weight I keep gaining. I seek friends to discuss the pros and cons of the sleeve and or the band. I have a BMI of aboiut 38, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and also prediabetic. Do they always remove the gall bladder?
