Congratulations to you! You have made a life changing decision and I can speak from a personal standpoint that it may be the best one you have ever made!

My Dr. agreed that it was a good idea. He just went through some of the risks and statistics with me. After I explained to him that I had done extensive research he told me I was a great canidate! Now on the flip side I knew one woman who wanted to get it done and her dr told her no way would he approve of that. So I guess it really depends on the Dr.

Dawn checking in at 192!

I dont know enough about the sleeve to say yes or no. I will say this though.. I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!

My pre-op diet was 2 protein shakes a day and 1 small low calorie meal. I was instrcted to lose 5 pounds before surgery.

Dawn checking in at 195 for 4/15/12!!!

Dawn checking in at 198! Finally broke into onderland!!!! Checking in early due to going out of town for easter

I have aetna. I too was missing one year of doctors records. The insurance lady at my surgens office simply had me write a letter to the INS co. stating that I did not have that years records. I was still approved but I had a BMI of over 40 and hypertension. I am sure that played a factor in thier decision.

Dawn checking in at 201! Down 5 pounds this week

No beer but I do drink soda without any issues

Thanks all for the advice! Its only a two hour flight so I will probably just buy water to have with me on the plane and then eat when we land! Im excited!

The 5 pounds is for the spring time Challange on this site. My ultimate goal is still 66 pounds away

Thanks all! I hope my band does tighten up a bit lol. Right now I need a fill but I am going to wait till I get back for that

Yes when I had my gallbladder surgery I had 5 ccs. THey had to take all my fluid out. Then when I went back she could only put the amount I had taken out back and .2 more....I was already needing a fill before my gallbladder and this .2 isnt doing anything for me...I think I am going to wait till I get back though. I will just have to be extra careful on what I am eating
