Hi WLS community! I have been kurking around the chat rooms for months now and finally decided today was the day! I have decided to have the vertica sleeve gastrectomy procedure because my health has been declining for the last few years. I have been taking blood pressure medication for about 4 yrs one pill a day. In Oct. of last year another pill was added. I wasnt happy about it and decided i needed to loose some weight.My pcp suggested i think about bariatric surgery. I looked into it but honestly the thought of surgery scared me, so I decided to try it on my own, I dropped some... but quickly gained it back. In January of this year I was told that I was borderline diabetic, by March I was over the line! My pcp again suggested I look into bariatric surgery and although I am still nervous about surgery but i am now focusing on my journey and getting healthy for my children.
