Hello everyone!, I found BariatricPal by browsing and doing some research about which surgery is best for me to have since I'm kind of stuck between whether or not I want to have RNY or Sleeve. My name is Victoria, I'm 20 years old, 320lbs with a BMI of 48. I've been obese almost all of my life. I've tried numerous ways to try and get the weight off but nothing has worked :(. being obese has effected me in so many ways. I get really depressed, my social life is downhill, and I have very low self-esteem. I don't even have any friends, I feel so alone. It's like I'm just existing but not truly living at all. I knew something had to be done. So my doctor referred me to Bellvue Hospital here in NYC to get evaluated for WLS. I went to the Seminar and everything, then after was another appointment for evaluation. This was in February. Since then I got my surgery date which is June 16 for RNY. I went through all the months of endless appointments and stuff. I'm so really excited for my Journey. And I hope to meet new people on here and hear their experiences and stuff :)
