Hello from Atlanta, GA

[anewme15]

Hi Everyone! I am well on my way to starting this journey. I had my initial consultation with my surgeon today. CW: 255lbs, Height: 5'4" BMI: 43.8 Co-morbidity: Sleep apnea, I also struggle with PCOS and GERD. My goal weight is 160 lbs. I have researched, watched youtube videos, read forums, googled information, etc. etc.; however, this post is my first time actively participating in an online forum....so here it goes!

Hello and welcome! I am sure you plan to read up on all of the surgery choices available. I had a similar BMI to yours and I chose to have the DS. I am too afraid of regain and I know me, I love to eat!
