Thank you for the insight. I didn't look at it that way. Right now I am not happy with my weight and to top it off I work in the bariatric research department at the Cleveland clinic-talk about being a hypocrite. I think that my goal is to live a longer life byany means necessary.

I know that plastic surgery would be out of the question for me. It's so expensive and I couldn't afford to take the time off work.

Was going to get mine December 3 but the nurse told me I wouldnt be able to eat for thanksgiving so...... Me being me I pushed it back a week. I am getting it on December 10th!!!

My date is December 10th and I am ready-I think. I think I freaked myself out from watching YouTube videos. I think I need to start working out now to try to tone as much as I can.

I Am having the sleeve on December 10th. My breaking point was when I looked at a picture of myself and when I realized that I couldn't even fit my "fat" clothes. I work at the Cleveland clinic in Ohio in the bariatric research department and we are recruiting patients who are diabetic for a clinical trial. Bottom line is I don't have any comorbities such as diabetes, high bp or any of that but I realize it's only matter of time. I feel that you have to do what you have to. The idea is to live life and make the most out it. I am ready for a change I just fear the loose skin.
