Hi, I'm Kim (KKB) I am soo exctied to be here! I have been reading and researching for a while, but now I made my decision 100% on the sleeve! (thanks to much help and advise from you!) I have done the sleep study, stress test, and EGD now just waiting for my second consult and date! I can't believe how fast everything is going! Kinda hard to wrap my mind around it! I just wanted to say Hi & thank you, and glad to finally be a part of the group! :thumbup:

Thank You so, so much for your story!!! It is very inspiring!!! You look amazzzziinnggg!!!! Congratulations! You must be so proud!!!! I have been praying about rather to have By pass or the sleeve. I have been researching like crazy and have finally decided to go with the sleeve! I am going to tell my family this weekend, and I'm really freaking out!!! I am soo afraid that they will all flip out and will try to keep me from doing it!!! I really value their opinion and I want to have their support more than anything! My husband has never liked the idea, but after going with me to the Dr. and asking a lot of questions he has come around. He is being very supportive. I would never be able to do it without him!!! Thank you for all of your wonderful post and inspiring words! I pray that my journey will be as great as yours has been! Kim

I can not thank y'all enough for all of your help!!!! I feel deep down that the sleeve is the best option. Sometimes I think you can read too much & it is so overwhelming! It is soooo much better to talk to people that have actually gone through it!!! My Dr. is Dr. Barker in Dallas. He has a very good reputation and I really liked him & love his staff. It has only been a week since I started this journey, but things are moving very fast! I have excellent insurance, so that is not an issue. Thank you again so much for your help!!!! I appreciate it more than you know!!! Glad to be here!!! I know you will hear from me again!!!

Hi, I am so confused with which surgery to go with. I have read so many things about both bypass & the sleeve that I'm totally torn. My Dr. first suggested bypass, but said I could do either one. I'm just curious what made you choose the sleeve over bypass?:scared0: Thank you for your help!!!!
