I am pre-surgical and going through all of the required procedures. I am still at this point not 100% sure whether I should go with the band or the sleeve, but I'm going down the band path because I like that it does not involve cutting part of my body out, is less "invasive" and reversable. Although, I know I can't reverse it, or I will be right back where I am now. I am excited about the potential for a life more full of activity and less pain and embarrasement. I would be lying if I didn't say I was anxious about removing food as one of the main focuses of my life. I look forward to eating and plan everything around it at this point in my life.
