Hi, I am practically your neighbor.. I live near Wylie..

Hi TxSam I live in the Garland area.. Too far to get togethe for exercise but we can talk and/or meet. Let me know if you want to chat with me.. I am yet to be sleeved so would love to draw on yur experience.

I am a sleever to be. I am in the Dallas Metroplex area. Anyone in my area? I would love a buddy/Mentor.. I am going through the pre-op, pre-authorization stuff.. Have a nutritionist's appt this week.. My band has slipped 3 times.. so it is going to be removed as I sleeve. My Dr. in in Baylor - Downtown Dallas. Do you all have blogs that I can read? Thanks. I look forward to meeting you one day..

Thanks for response. I will follow your progress. Still waiting for a surgery date. Be blessed!

I am 214 today and hope to lose 70. Has anyone lost just that or do you continue losing? I am afraid to get sleeved and lose like 100 or more.. Is that possible? Pls answer!!!

Thank you for the infor, Morgandobes. Very useful.

Good luck with that. Pls keep me informed with that. You are in my prayers.

Aetna is now covering Sleeve surgery. Have you gone back to them? I consulted 2 weeks ago with my Dr. Want band removed and revised to sleeve. They told me Aetna just started covering it. I am waiting for approval but they want me to see a nutritionist at least 3 times before they put the request through. Having had an unsuccessful band should be pre-approval enough, I think!

Thank you Frankie. I am going for my psych eval on 4/30. Just because my ins demands it.. I should be on my way in about 4 weeks if everything goes according to plan. Thanks again, I will be coming back toyou with questions..

Got any black pants? 14-18W. I am a 18W but know will soon go down.

Chanciie Need some 18w. Maybe soon I will want 16w. If you still got them, pls share.. :thumbup1: thanks.. Jackie

Do you still have the 18W. I really need those.. Thanks. Jackie

Hi Frankie, Congratulations on your 4 week mark! You seem to be doing great and I am so happy for you. I notice you weighed about the same as I do now. I am 5'2" so look bigger coz I am real short. I am 52 yrs old so in the same age group as you. I am considiering the sleeve surgery but is afraid to lose too much. I would like to lose about 60-70 lbs. I previously had the band and it never worked for me. I did not lost weight on it. Why did you choose the sleeve surgery? My doctor is recommending it for me. He wanted me to do Gastric Bypass but I absolutely will not do that. What do you think?
