This has been taking up most of my mental capacity lately, LOL. I'm supposed to get a gastric sleeve in August, but I just can't make up my mind. I personally would rather lose it the old fashioned way, I guess because of the way people view it? I think I focus too much on the opinions of others. At the end of the day, I just fricken wanna be healthy! But I also question whether getting skinny that way IS healthy. Sure, it's effective, probably moreso for me, given how much difficulty I have losing weight. But the accompanying mineral and vitamin deficiencies concern me - am I healthier now, even obese, than I would be after the op?

Such an interesting topic.
