Welcome Christine.
Gastric sleeve is definitely a weight loss tool when combined with lifestyle changes. It is important to find a program that provides education and support before and after your surgery.

Have you met with a provider about your weight loss options?

Yes, I've met with a provider, I am Currently in protocol, doing my visits and my behavioral health visits. And all that stuff my presurgical testing and I'm looking at a date of late January or February. My Doctor told me that the gastric sleeve is my only option.Considering that I had left sigmoid Resection years ago. I am really scared of this surgery because I had a surgery last year and it was supposed to be simple and I bled into my belly. But like I said, I don't really have a choice. Get my hip fixed or to get my sciatic area fixed. I need to have the weight off.
