  1. I'm just starting the supervised weight loss program. I have to that for 6 months before my insurance will cover the procedure. Do you have any regrets?
  2. I chose the sleeve because I don't have a lot of weight to lose, and I felt like it was the safest for me. I hope everyone choose the right one for themselves. I want everyone to be successful no matter what path they choose.
  3. I am going through that exact same emotions, and from the people I know that has had the surgery said they went through it too. I know one things for sure for me, I have been over weight far too long, my blood pressure high, back pain and knee pain. I am 100 pounds overweight and I haven't been able to get the weight off let alone keep it off. I am going through with it. Lol I am going to pray and keep pushing

She said a lot of people Vitamin D is low in the Midwest due to lack of sun
