I am new to this site. I did not know this site existed. I am also a member of ObesityHelp.com. I weigh 230 lbs. In January 2011, my highest weight was 250 lbs. I am 5'1. I have been researching WLS for about 6 years. Initially, I wanted the lap band surgery. But I wanted to lose the most amount of weight I could without complications. Then I looked into the RNY but decided I did not want my anatomy rearranged and have to deal with vitamin deficiencies. So, I decided on the Sleeve. I believe this would be the best surgery for me. In addition to being overweight, I have very bad sleep apnea, borderline diabetic, lower back pain. I feel as though my life is on hold until I lose about 100-110 lbs. I have2 months left of the required 6 months nutrition sessions. I have passed the evaluations with the psychiatrist. So I am hoping to have surgery sometimes in September 2011.
