Hi
I am considering the Barartic surgery the gastric sleeve or LAP Band. My history is as follows; Sleep aptnia, high blood pressure and high colestorial. I weigh 225 and I am 5'6" tall. I am 50 years old. Loosing weight is not the issue, I can loose the weight, but it comes right back. My father died from complactions of diabieties. I have been to a cardiologist and Gastroentrologist, 2 different Baratic surgons. All the above doctors all agree that I should under go one of the Barartic procedures. I would like to find a doctor that might disagree with the doctors that I have already seen. I am finding it hard to come to terms with a unreversal procedure. I have tried most main stream diets and they do work, but only while I am commited to the program. These diets are not real life. It sucks to be on a diet and all you do is think about what you are going to eat.
Any advice that a medical or non-medical professional could provide would be greatly appreacated.
Thank you
