I decided to do the Gastric Sleeve because i felt it was safer than the bypass and didn't want the lap band as I had a fear of a foreign object in my body for the rest of my life so the sleeve was the best decision for me. I have always been on the heavy side, even as a child. Now that I am older I am not as able to carry the extra weight anymore. I found BariatricPal by researching my procedure on the web. I was very happy to find others who could share their journey with me. My surgery is scheduled for December 10, 2015. I am very excited about getting this done. I feel very confident that I have chosen the best surgeon (Dr. Steven Hodgett) to perform the procedure. I hope that BaritricPal will be my support group.
