I've made a decision...

After many long discussions with my hubby and my family, I have decided to go ahead and get the gastric sleeve operation. I wanted to get the lapband but since I live in Canada and the nearest fill center is an 8 hour drive..... I did all the calculations and decided to get the sleeve. It has much less maintainance for me.

 

The pre-op and post-op diets are very similar. I called the facility where i am having my surgery (Sept 2) and they said it was no problem to switch procedures. The cost is not much more . So considering having to travel 8 hours stay the night in a hotel and doing this several times a year plus the cost of all the fills, I decided to go this route.

 

I hope to stay on this site as everyone is SO AMAZING!!! I went on the gastric sleeve site and well...... lets just say you all are such beautiful and motivating people.

 

I'll keep blogging to help me stay motivated and to read all of your wonderful stories.

 

Take care,

Nikki:smile2:

I think thats a wonderful idea. I drive just 2 hours for a fill and that is hard enough.
