  1. Could you please send me an invite. I'm having surgery 2/16/13. Thanks!
  2. Guys, well said. You all have mentioned everything I was going to say. I am 5'3", 191lbs and have the worst back pain you'd ever want to experience. Lost about 40 lbs a couple years ago on the atkins diet only to gain it back with a vengeance shortly thereafter. Since then it's been a losing battle fighting my weight. I have not since been able to sustain any diet and I have tried them all. My mom died in November 2011 from complications associated with kidney failure. Her high blood pressure and diabetes led to her kidney failure. She wasnt that much bigger than me at my current weight. The weight I carry on my small frame makes it hard for me to exercise but I joined a gym anyway and my trainer just did an evaluation and told me my metabolism was shot. I had my annual check up last July and the doctor told me that not only were my blood lipids high but I am also pre-diabetic. I am having the surgery next month and it isn't because I have a few vanity pounds I want to lose. I'm having the surgery to improve my quality of life and maybe increase my life expectantcy.
  3. My surgeon is Dr. Quinones. I have been in touch with several people that got their sleeve with him and they say he was very good. I am excited but at the same time nervous. I am the mother of 3, ages, 21,17 and 16, My oldest is in college and the other 2 are on the way. I just finalized my divorce in November. I'm getting a brand new lease on life. WATCH OUT NOW!!
