HAS ANYONE ELSE FACED PRESSURE TO NOT BE SLEEVED? My adult daughters are upset with me because I have been moving in this direction. Have had all my tests, received a c-pap machine, been going to mt pcp regularly (am on month 4).

Have lost 13 lbs slowly since beginning. Am 5.5, weigh 232 and am 62. BMI = 38.6.

Their argument is that I can lose weight on my own w/o surgery. I know full well the reasons why i should be sleeved, but I need to be encouraged. Or....are they right? Help!

It is your decision... It is life changing. It's forever. It's work. Everyday. I had about the same stats as yourself... If I could go back, I wouldn't of had the surgery. No intention of discouraging you, just my experience and opinion. Not everyone loves their sleeve. I fall in the percentage of patients who have regretted the surgery and have had complications from day one. Either way you decide, you do it for you!! Good luck and God bless you!
