You will likely be post-op when you read this but I believe taking decisive action to improve your health is important. It is not going to self correct. Last November 2016 I had my sleeve surgery. Was I nervous the night got before? You bet. Now 9 months later, I know I made the right decision. I am now at 175 and holding steady. I no longer take medication for high blood pressure and am no longer pre-diabetic. When I retire. In my opinion you are fighting to cure yourself from one of our societies greatest health problems. Congratulations!
