I too like the fact that with the Aspire, it can be removed. There are so many long term complications with RNY and sleeve.
Everyone's journey is different.
I would go for this in a heartbeat. I've lost 40 lbs on my own, eat no sugar or oil, no dairy, bread or or meat. I am currently in an emotional eating group, weigh 190lbs.
I have done the work, and am getting a sleeve because the Aspire is not available here yet.

Okay, i am a person that has had HUGE success with the sleeve - I am a sleever believer! However, in your situation, i would keep trying to manage it by lifestyle alone. seriously, weight loss surgery is a life altering decision. forever, I am at higher risk of stomache ulcers, GERD etc - I don't have those things but it could still happen even 4 years post op. I recently had a medical problem that would have been alot better if I could have taken maximum dose of NSAIDs - instead I cautiously took a small dose once a day. WLS is much safer than morbid obesity, but it has risks and long term consequences. This is just one persons opinion - there probably isn't a "right or wrong" answer.

Such a personal decision. I'm wondering what has been driving you for 3 years? If it is surgery, consider not going to the back of the line .... If you are like many of us, we could get weight off ... Just couldn't keep it off for years.
I don't want to see you have regrets in 2-3-4 years if the weight returns. ( about 95% of dieters do)
I encourage you to think about what you want in life. If you are wanting a more permanent solution, consider WLS .
Only you can decide and I wish you luck. Many posters here do say they wish they had WLS years before.... Just consider the personal pros and cons!

Holy overreaction, Batman.
You've obviously missed a couple of appointments. It puts everyone else out when appointments are missed. It's common practice for doctors offices to charge a fee for missed appointments, and their prerogative to stop service if they feel the person is no showing too much for appointments. It's not because you're obese. They deal with obese people every day! It's just common courtesy to show up for your appointments when you're scheduled, or give them plenty of notice when you can't. Just don't miss any other appointments, don't take it so personally, and everything will be fine.

Oh the craziness I grew up with! My mom did not cook for me. She would ask me Do you want McDonalds, Dairy Queen or KFC to eat? Everyday. Yes. Everyday. lunch was out of a can or a box.
Maybe I should be angry with her - filling me with fake food and chemicals.
I was seeing a therapist and he said that he was surprised that I was not angry at her. Sadly, it is because she treated me the best out of everyone in my family.
I now have children of my own. I cook real food for them. They are beautiful with no weight issues, like I had at their age.
I wonder why I was given the burden of being obese since the age of 3. I deserve better.
