Hello my name is Kari and I live in Chicago. I am currently in the process of getting the sleeve. I would totally love it if I could get some of the stories of before and after. I'm 38,years old with diabetes and high blood pressure and low thyroid. My current weight is almost 350. The question I have is how many of you have had one or all these and then after surgery they are gone? Does that even happen? I have so many questions that I would like to ask.
