Anyone had weight loss surgery?

I’ve struggled with my weight for a long time, mostly due to a metabolic/hormonal problem I have (as well as insulin resistance, ick) but I admit that some bad past habits have contributed. Despite doing my best to eliminate them and restrict calories and carbs with diets by my doctor, I am unable to make real progress.

I’m 23 and I weigh almost 300 lb now. It sucks. Health wise, I feel poor. My stamina is not good like it used to be and I’m starting to have GERD.

I’m getting weight loss surgery done this summer. I have one more consult to finish and then I’ll be approved for insurance. I’ll be getting the sleeve. It just involves making your stomach into a sleeve, no intestinal bypass.

Wondering if anyone had a weight loss surgery and how they have improved their health.

Looking forward to being able to able to make some real progress. It will be a lot of work but I’m ready.
