After struggling with my weight for the last 10-15 yrs becoming a diabetic,getting high blood pressure,looking 9 months pregnant all the time and carrying all my weight in my belly and hips,having a BMI of over 37,dieting,taking medication,exercising,cutting calories,watching carbs,etc and even gaining weight my PCM finally put in a referral for me to see a general Surgeon who specializes in bariatric surgery and the lap sleeve. I'm really nervous but excited to see what my options are,etc.
