Go to the Pre-Op sleeve forum and read the pinned topics. Lots of useful info there.

Hi I'm a 56 y/o female just starting the process. I have struggled with my weight all my life. My BMI is 43 I'm 5'4 weight is 257. I am ready to live without all the meds for diabetes,high blood pressure, bi-pap. I believe I'm making the right choice.

My advice:

Take lots of notes, write everything down.

Ask questions and if you don't understand something keep asking until you do.

Most of all, be prepared to be patient and politely persistent.

Best of luck!

Main thing is grow some patience! It will seem like takes forever but once you clear all ur tests things start coming together. I started in Aug 2015 and just had surgery last week

I started the process in October. It's been 6 months of weighting and my life being on hold. Made me soooo happy to get a date. Be patient and pray a lot.

I hope I didn't wait until I was a little to old.
