Hi, I am new to the sleeve world. I am in the very beginning and will be self pay. I have thyroid issues and have been borderline diabetic for 5 years. As the years have continued my sugars have become worse. I sincerely hope to get this weight off. I have not been under 200 pounds for over 15 years, since my first child. At this point I feel like my life is on the line. If I don't do something drastic I wont be able to have a good quality of life, or even be alive. My triglicerides are also high. I do work out and have recently changed to gluten free. I have at least 4-5 more years of school and if it wasn't hard enough to get a job during this economy I need to be more marketable, as well as survive to pay back these loans. I can't believe how cheap the student insurance companies are allowed to be. Graduate students are under a lot of pressure and have a lot of debt. We are an investment. If I stroke out the schools and government won't get any money back. Its wild. Someone needs to do a cost benefit analysis.... anyhow greetings all!
