  8. Hello, my name is Maureen. I am 52 years old and have been thinking about doing something about my weight, surgery wise, for about 2 years. It was a very hard decision for me as my cousin died after having gastric bypass. I finally came to the realization that if things continue to progress, as they have, I might not die from having surgery, but I sure as heck might die from HBP or any of the other problems we all have. This was a hard year. I had two accidents which put my out of commission for a bit. POSITIVE>>>> Insurance will cover 100% of my surgery and why not take some of the negative out of this year and do something FOR me.... for once. So here I am, just had my first doctor's appt. Had all the tests, at least required so far, done. Just need to meet with the psychologist and go into wait patter. I am hoping for a November surgery. I decided on the sleeve for a bunch of reasons, the above being one, but my Dr. said that the complications he has seen after doing many many sleeves are far less than bypass. I watched a video of the surgery (biting my nails), and was pretty amazed at the process. I cannot wait to be able to ride my horse (whom has been a lawn ornament for a while hehe), look good on my motorcycle and buying that 1st set of SKINNY JEANS!!! If you are looking for a buddy to go through this with, please let me know.
