I am 33 years old, live in Washington state with my domestic partner of 12 years. I have struggled with weight and weight loss for as long as I can remember. In 2007 I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease witch came with many years of stariods and a tremendous amounts of weight gain. With the gain came a pill for high blood pressure, gurd, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma. After taking 20 + pills a day for my autoimmune diseases I came to the point where enough was enough. So in January of this year I met with my PCP and got the refural to my syrgon. It's crazy to think I'm 14 days away from the new and healthy me. My only wish if anything is to get off all the precipitation medications. The vanity will come along with it I'm sure, but to be truly healthy is my hope.

14 days out, nice!!! I'm 30 and have dealt with my weight forever. I haven't gotten scheduled yet but should in the next couple of weeks. Congrats on your decision!

Welcome. Congrats on getting a date!
Are you doing the sleeve with GERD? or the RNY?

Are you doing the sleeve with GERD? or the RNY?

Doing the sleeve. Had a bunch of testing done when making the decision witch to do. Have a 50/50 chance of the GERD getting worse or improving. Hope with the weight loss it will improve.

Congratulations and welcome!

Two weeks will go by fast.

I was sleeved April 20 of this year and couldn't be happier with my recovery and progress.
