hello all and thank you for this great site, I have done alot of research on the gastric sleeve and have decided it is the best option for me. I have been overweight since the 3rd grade and am now 31 yrs old and 373 lbs. I have three wonderfull girls that are the light of my life and would do anything I could for them, so not only is this decision for me its also for them. I need all the support I can get though because my other family doesnt believe in me that I will do this or follow through with it as of now my surgery is set for 01/15/10 please keep me in your thoughts and any comments will be greatly appreciated
