Hello! My name is Becky and I am from RI. I am contemplating the gastric sleeve. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on for the surgery. I am what you call a "foodie", have grown up in a house of cooks, and love a glass of wine with dinner. I know this will all change, and I feel it is worth being slender and healthy, rather than indulging and comforting with food. I hope to feel healthier, rid myself of knee pain back pain and general exhaustion and sickness. I know it is not a cure all and there will be some big changes made, but I don't want to be like this for my daughter, or perhaps not make it due to heart attack or stroke. My biggest fear is dying in the table. I have anxiety disorder and depression which has been getting better, and I suspect this will be increased after surgery. I just hope there are no complications. My motivation is not leaving my daughter without a mother.
