Hi, just another new member to the site. Like others, I've researched and thought about doing some form of bariatric surgery for years but didn't know how I was going to afford it or if it was going to be a solution for my weight problem. I've now found the answers to both of those questions so I decided to join the website because it looks like I'm going to be getting a gastric sleeve sometime in the future. I want to thank everybody who has posted on this forum -- I lurked a lot before registering and have already gained so much knowledge from some of the posts. Hopefully one of these days I can help someone out in their journey.

Hello there - nice to have you out of the shadows. It's a big step considering this procedure and best done at your own pace. All the best as you continue to consider your options.
