a "yes" day

 Today I have decided I am having the surgery !!!!! This is conditional on some further research but I am 90% sure I am having it done !!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE !! You have answered my questions and been very supportive !!!!  

I can only state my personal opinion....but it has truly been the best thing I have ever done for myself.
I really researched all the different weight loss surgery options and what each entailed and I knew with out a doubt that the sleeve was the best option.
I was a self pay and I believe it has been the wisest investment for me and my family.
Best wishes!

 Good luck with whatever you decide. I agree with the other poster that for me it was the best thing I have done for myself in many, many years. I feel so much better, so much more energy. ... I'm thankful everyday I did the research, found a good surgeon and have had the results that I've had even if I'm not setting any weight loss records.
But it's been quite steady and satisfactory and I'm over-the-moon happy with my sleeve.
