I am debating a sleeve...one main reason is I have had 2 previous lumbar fusions and am facing having a 3rd level fused. I have chronic back pain...and take pain meds uite a bit. Has anyone had previous fusions or severe chronic back pain that has improved since getting a sleeve and losing weight. I have three small kids to chase after and zero energy along with difficulty moving. I am 39 , 5ft4in, and weigh 215.... which is new to me I've put on 20 pounds since march. I could use some help, advice, or info. I've had a consultation, the surgeon said he would not talk me out of having it. Anyway, anyone's thoughts or experience would be apreciated.
