Hello my name is Lorrie and have just found out about the gastric sleeve Fri. by my Dr. so reading all I can about it before going to 1st meeting. My sister had a gastric bypass many years ago and after watching what she went through I never wanted any thing to do with weight loss surgery. I now am at a point in my life that I want be healthier to enjoy life!

What reasons did you not want weight loss surgery...did she have complications, gain the weight back? I think the sleeve is a safer surgery than bypass with no malabsorption issues, good luck and let us know how you progress, God Bless!!!
