I felt the same way when I told my mother this past weekend that I had decided to have the sleeve gastrectomy. I guess I took her by surprise. Her response to me is that you are not that heavy. I am 5'6" and weigh 231. I am experiencing sleep apnea, high cholestrol and my knees hurt so bad from supporting all of this weight. She tried to tell me horror stories about her friends that had this kind of procedure done 20 years ago. I tried to explain to her that medicine changes. Luckily, my husband is very supportive. I just know that I have finally come to a place in my life where I have to be healthy for myself and my family. I wish you the best of luck.
