Hi my name is Crystal I was looking up everything I can find about the Gastric Sleeve procedure, possible complications and of course success stories when I came across this forum. I am just starting my journey. I have a seminar to attend on the 17th, I found out yesterday that my insurance covers the procedure. I hope to get this to improve my health I am 38 years with a husband and 3 children. I currently weigh 255 at 5 foot 6. I am at risk for developing diabetes and I am currently on 2 blood pressure meds. I want to lose the weight and get healthy so that I can be around to see my children grow and help with grandchildren one day.
