Hello,
I'm new to all of this. I'm researching gastric sleeve surgery and came upon this website.
I am trying to find a Dr. in West Texas area. Any recommendations?
I'm pretty active. I love the outdoors and enjoy walking, swimming, fishing, camping. We have a boat and jet skis and enjoy going to different lakes. I'm not looking forward to putting on a swimsuit this year.
I will be paying cash for this since my insurance will not cover it and my BMI isn't high enough.
I weigh 190lbs today. I have been a yoyo'er for about 25 years and just can't seem to keep the weight off. Over weight runs in my family. My mother who passed away a year ago was 62 yrs old and probably weighed 350-400 lbs. She was heavy my entire life and had numerous medical problems. My mothers sister was also heavy (probably 250-300 lbs.) and had a brain aneursim at age 51 and passed away. My sister had gastric bypass surgery 2 yrs ago and is doing great. She is smaller that I can ever remember her.
I'm worried about my health in the future and don't want to end up like my mother. I want to do something before its too late.
I appreciate any and all advise that anyone has to give about the gastric sleeve procedure.
Have there been any long term studies on this surgery?
