Hi All,

hope your having a great day

im a 34 year man 5.11 230 lbs

i have sleep apnea and on medication for high blood pressure i want to do the sleeve in mexico by doctor Ramirez in Tijuana, but im not sure if its the right thing for me to do as im not so fat and im unsure if my sleep apnea and high blood pressure will really go away after sleeve as im vaping.

Also am i scared that because im not so fat i will loose to much weight and be way too skinny and look terrible.

i have tried dieting and exercise i can never follow through i really dont know what to do should i just quit vaping and that will solve my apnea and high BP or is it a combination of weight and vaping. now im very scared that if i do sleeve and quit vaping it would just be impossible to not eat and not vape .

I'm in a big dilemma what to do can someone help??

thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Never say never. It's possible. I quit both and I was a very heavy vaper for over 5 years. From the time I woke till the time I went to bed. I think it's demonized way more than necessary but just my opinion. I attribute my HBP and Apnea more to my weight/family history and had both way before I ever picked up a vape.

I had to see a pulmonologist pre-op to test my lungs, breathing etc. I told the tech if vaping causes as much harm as everyone claims then I guess we'll find out. After testing, she told me my lungs were perfect with no damage.

Not possible. Your body will regulate at a new healthier setpoint, and weight will level out. Our bodies aren't that stupid to let us waste away.

Don't do anything till you know that you know exactly what you plan to do. Going in unsure is a recipe for disaster.
