I am 36 yrs old female and looking to do Vertical Gastric Sleeve. I have done a lot of research on this and really excited to get it done, My date has not been scheduled yet but I am looking into having it done by Dr Kim in Dallas. As I do more research i am very exited to get the procedure done but I also scared what if the weight does not come off. I have been on so many diets and workout plans that I now have stubborn weight. I dont want to be let down. Updated on 21 Mar

Hello everyone, went to my consultation July 13. Starting weight 249. This is the biggest I have ever been. I lost my father suddenly in March, and my mom go diagnosed with Kidney cancer a month later. (she's going to be fine) I had a wake up call, and realize I need get some help. After many, many failed attempts, i'm hoping this will help me lose and keep it off! I have been already doing low carb for the last two weeks, I have a wedding coming up in August and my bridesmaid

My motivation for getting sleeved due to my uncontrolled/hard to control diabetes, along with other illnesses. I'm 5 days post op hurray. Well everything went well. Only thing I bruised real bad across my stomach along my incision area. It scared me so bad. The Dr says it will be ok just apply warm compresses. It's ugly!!! But anyway I'm still on clear liquids Im able to keep down all the liquids. I did share with my family afterwards. My Mom was upset because I didn't tell her.

As most of you reading this, I have been overweight most of my life; and like most of you, I have lost hundreds of pounds during my life. BUT, like most of you, I'm tired of it!!! I have COPD, lymphadema in my leg and foot, high BP and high cholesterol, and minor thyroid problems. My daughter had been suggesting that I have weight loss surgery for several years, but I was of the mindset that I could do it on my own. Well...I now admit that I can't. I've been researching
