My weight loss goal is right at 100 lbs. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea, gastric reflux, lower back disc extrusion, and depression. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Like I said elsewhere on these forums, I look at it like getting immunizations. Doing this surgery is preventing me from developing more/worse comorbidities and complications down the road that are a certain death sentence. I wouldn't walk into a room full of polio patients without having a vaccine, so neither will I continue to walk into a world full of food without the tools to control my eating.
