Hello All, I am sure you have seen this question many times but, I am going to ask. I am considering Gastric Sleeve Surgery and will be meeting with a doctor this week. I am 40 years old, I am 5'9" weight 302 and my BMI is 44.5. I also have high blood pressure and a history of diabetes and heart problems in my family. I have tried diet and exercise and I always fail, I have a very demanding career and have a really hard time getting to the gym. Family members tell me I shouldn't do but they know nothing about the great success so many people have had. I have a 9 year old son and want to be around for him for many years to come and I think this is my best shot...any advice for dealing with the skeptics ? Thanks, Chris
