I haven't had surgery, but I am thinking about it. I can tell you I take nexium everyday and never have heartburn any more. It is really good stuff.

I want to thank everybody for their kind thoughts on this big decision in my life. I do believe it is the right choice for me and just need to get my head really wrapped around it. I know coming on here has helped a great bit. Being young and having these co-morbidities is what is really helping me make this decision. Blood pressure meds and glucose resistance doesn’t mean good things for my future.
I think what really gets to me is the no excuses for being able to live life to the fullest anymore. I have always had this crutch since high school of being overweight to lean on as an excuse for not doing something. Now having a little boy and wife to take care of makes me think I need to really make a change for myself and them.

Okay so here is is- I have pondered weight loss surgery forever. I have taken the steps and had an appointment with the Doctor and have been approved by my insurance company. This took place back in November and I told my wife I would make my decision after the holidays- so here it is February, and I haven't done anything yet.
I am at a loss of what to do.... I am not sure if I am frightened of the pain, or the new life I will get to live now with no excuses. I use the excuse of the sleeve being so permanent and how young I am. At the same time I am 34 years old and a new Dad . I know the right choice every morning when I leave my house and say good bye to my 4 month old and wife. I have a panic attack on the way to work thinking today could be the day it all catches up with me and I don't come home. When I think about it later I think I can do it myself like I have before. Have you all been there before ..Are there any regrets?
