Hi - I have been reading through the posts and have decided to join. I want to learn and get as much information as I can about weightloss surgery. I currently feel that the gastric sleeve is the best option for me. I also want to make a decision about the best surgeon for this procedure, and contemplate 'taking the plunge' into surgery in the fall of 2009. Best wishes - Kathy.
