I Am having the sleeve on December 10th. My breaking point was when I looked at a picture of myself and when I realized that I couldn't even fit my "fat" clothes. I work at the Cleveland clinic in Ohio in the bariatric research department and we are recruiting patients who are diabetic for a clinical trial. Bottom line is I don't have any comorbities such as diabetes, high bp or any of that but I realize it's only matter of time. I feel that you have to do what you have to. The idea is to live life and make the most out it. I am ready for a change I just fear the loose skin.
