Hi
My name is Lisa. I am 50 years old. I am considering gastric sleeve surgery. Actually, I see the surgeon in 2 weeks and my insurance has already approved me. I am 5'2" and 205 lbs. I had back surgery 5 years ago and now have 3 bulging disc. I have arthritis in most joints, from feet to hands. So as long as I keep this weight on me I can not exercise. I am on high blood pressure meds. My thyroid meds help some, but not much.
At the same time I am scared. Not so much of the surgery, I have had plenty. More afraid of vomiting. My mom had stapling done, but that was in the early 80's. I think she was more of a guinea pig. They basically sent her home to find out on her own what she can and can not eat. She was sick daily.
So any advice would be great appreciated!!!
