I have known about the sleeve for years but paid no attention to it since I had my mind set on The Lap Band. I had been wanting the band for the last 4 years. Well, seems like everytime I started the process, SOMETHING always fell through ( and I'm so glad they did). I decided to try this process again in Feb of 2013. My surgeon asked me why I was choosing to have The Lap Band done. I told him because that's pretty much all I know. Seems to be working out for everyone. He suggested for my age and size that I have the sleeve. This, to me, seems less complicated (sorry, my opinion). I recently submitted my paperwork to insurance and waiting to get approved! So excited and best of luck to anyone going through this surgery!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
