I have my first appointment with my Dr tomorrow to discuss sleeve surgery. She is actually the nurse practitioner but I see her instead of the Dr for most everything. I may have to see him at some point in this process. She is actually the one who suggested this for me. High BP and cholesterol are controlled with medication but I haven't been able to lose any weight. I have arthritis in my knees and back and need to do something. At first, I dismissed the thought of doing this surgery. Months later, I decided to research the issue and have decided to tell my Dr that I am ready to pursue this plan. I am 51 and at this point, I just need to get on the right track so I can stay around to old age! Part of me is naturally terrified, but after researching I am also excited about the prospect of finally being able to LIVE. It's a giant undertaking, but if all of you can do it, so can I! So...away we go!

I am brand new here...my 1st post! I was looking for info on how to manage the wardrobe with rapid weight loss. Your comment about the Harley made me smile. I just decided to buy one when my car was paid off. Now I might have to spend the $$ on skin removal, but the Harley is still on my bucket list! Maybe a reward for weight loss!
