Hi I have put this off for thirty years because I knew that I had the stamina to lose weight. But then too many medical things happened. Please, if you are seeking the surgery get it before you get all these medical problems.

You are so right! I, too, had medical issues that for me, were irreversible. WHY DID I WAIT?! Because I didn't know it could be for me. I wasn't as high on the BMI as some, so I didn't think I could qualify. I also didn't even know it existed for many years before I heard about it. Then one night, about 2 months before my surgery, I saw a commercial for it. Then I said "WHY NOT?" and began the journey that saved my life. No regrets. None.
