After 20 years of ups and downs with my weight, I have finally decided to have the sleeve surgery. Today, I had to see the nutritionist and had a psych appointment as required by my insurance company. Tomorrow to the cardiologist and after I receive clearance, I'll be able to receive my surgery date hopefully.

I'm 50 years old, 5'4, weigh 248 and SCARED TO DEATH.

I have never, ever been successful at losing weight and I truly hope I'm doing the right thing.

I'm 66 and had my sleeve at 65 last Nov. 5 ft 2 inches and weighed 225.5 at the highest. Now at 141.8. Lowest since before I was pregnant with my first daughter. She is now 41! For me it us worth it but I did it to improve my health!!

I'm 53 and also 5'4" I started at 238 but was 227 at time of surgery which was two weeks ago today. I'm at 210 today. I feel like I dieted myself fat so once I reached that high point I just knew I couldnt do another diet. I'm very glad I chose this route.

You will love it! I am 53 and almost 6 months post op. I wish I could have done it years ago! I am 5' 2" and was 220. I am now hovering around 160 and have 30 more to go. I feel SO much better and life is great! No more high blood pressure, labs are right in the middle of normal for everything!

Best thing I could have ever done for my health. I was self pay and it's worth it at twice the price!

Thanks for all your encouragement
