Well hello there

Hello Everyone,

I have been lurking for about a week now and decided today was a good day to introduce myself.

A little about me: I am 27, live in California, married, I have a boy who is a year and a half and I recently went back to school to pursue my Master's degree. Our insurance is through Kaiser so I am currently in week 4 of 12 of the Kaiser options program. I am 5'5" and at my heaviest, I was 278lbs; I currently weigh in at 256lbs.

In the week I have spent lurking and looking at old posts, I had so many questions answered that I didn't even know I had. I am leaning towards having the gastric sleeve but Kaiser lets you choose between that and the RnY.

If anyone has a question that I didn't answer, feel free to ask!
