I am also scheduled for Oct. 18! Yay! I have a surgery buddy!

Congratulations! That's really awesome! I hope I have as much success as you've had.

Oh it's definitely been entertaining.

Good lord. What am I reading?

Hi everyone! I'm a 32 year old female. I am 5'2 and 335 lbs. I have been looking into weight loss surgery for awhile. My insurance does not cover it, even it is "medically necessary" so I am a self pay. I have been looking at gastric sleeve, but I watched some videos that the doctor's office sent me, and apparently with gastric sleeve people lose an average of 50-70% of their excess weight. This is not enough! I don't want to get surgery and still be fat! I also don't want to do something as extreme as the duodenal switch. I don't know what to do. Sarah

I appreciate everyone's input. I am going to go ahead with the vertical sleeve. I think this is the right surgery for me. I still have to meet with my surgeon, but I feel good about my decision. Sarah
