Hi! I am considering bariatric after lifelong attempts to manage my weight. As I approach 50 next year, I am developing health issues such as borderline diabetes to go along with my sleep apnea and high blood pressure.My husband and I finished a six-month OptiFast diet through our local hospital, and both of us are back to our starting weight. He is not interested in bariatric and wants to continue trying to lead a disciplined eating plan with exercise. I've tried that, and it hasn't worked.I joined here to research the different types of surgery options and to get to know others in the community. I have some friends who had the bypass, but do not know of anyone in person who has experience with the sleeve surgery.Looking forward to this journey!
