Hi my name is Cherrie, I have not had surgery yet just starting of the paperwork. Going next week for my initial visit 2/11/14
I want to have he sleeve procedure done due to
I'm borderline diabetic
I have bad sleep apnea
I have degenerative disc disease
N two bulging discs
N pain in back hips n knees
I take Oxycodone for pain n I would love to live
Pain n pill free

I am new here I am applying to get the surgery. Hopefully I get accepted. I am very scared and nervous. Any one who can help me walk through this journey would be awesome.

So I am 43 and I weight 210lbs. I know that's not too much but I'm only 5'2" so that makes me highly overweight, my BMI is 37.9 and I have chronic back pain, borderline diabetes, bad sleep apnea, GERD, and Heart Murmur.
