Thanks, everyone, for helping me through what was a really very emotional couple of weeks. My doctor said yes, the psychologist was right, but in a much kinder way. After doing a lot of research on the sleeve and reading through posts here, I decided to pursue surgery. There's still a stigma there, I won't lie. Some part of me still says surgery is drastic and unnatural and I don't need it.. then the practical side of me shuts me up because I'm done fighting my weight. I need a drastic tool like this to help me, and I want to get on with my life knowing I'm not alone in my fight. I'm ready. I'm about halfway through my presurgical prep, and the excitement is growing.

Agreed! I've found mine, we've been dating just over a year. He's entirely supportive of me as I contemplate surgery and is even doing his own research. He cherishes me for me, not for my weight
