100%Sleeved

Happy Birthday Diva! Thanks for all of the wonderful tips. I plan to use these tools when I heal more. I will be 4 wks out in 2 days.

Hello everyone,
Just stopping by to post some before and after pics. I'm still 7 lbs away from goal but I'm totally happy I'm not where I used to be. I give all Glory to God because without Him none of this would be possible. It's been a long journey. My advice to those who are just starting would be to hang in there, your day will come. God Bless you all!!!

I LOVE this tread! Hi all I was sleeved on 11/15/11 I will be 1 wk out tomorrow. The gas is gone. I was almost banded on 11/10/11 but God stepped in just in time. On my 9th day of pre-op I received a call from the doctor's office stating my insurance will not cover the hospital because it was not a center of excellence. I was scrambling at the last minute because I was previously told it was approved. Anyway after finding another surgeon and going to his seminar, I saw he did all 3 surgeries as my lapband doc only did lapbands and I had no other option. The new surgeon had options and when I saw the sleeve it was a no brainer. I called my insurance company and they approved me for the sleeve within 5 minutes(I was already approved for the lap band). So I realized that God's will is what's best for me. Had my lapband doctor's insurance verification rep not slipped up with the insurance, I would have been banded and not known about the sleeve. Glory Be To God Almighty for this change. Thank you again for starting this post. I will keep yall updated as I continue my journey.

Hello everyone,
I know I have not been on here in a while but I just wanted to give and update on my progress. Word of encouragement, hang in there. I've been sleeved over a year and I'm still losing weight. I was stuck at 170 for over 6 months and I honestly thought that was it but finally the stall broke. I'm very happy and now I'm living my life again. I have taken back everything that the Devil stole from me. I'm walking in victory.

Thank you all for your kind comments!

Yes VSG_me the way He guided me through this process He truly deserves all the praise. I was almost banded but my insurance would not allow me to be banded at a hospital that was NOT a center of excellence. I had to find another Doc and when I did he had other choices such as the sleeve. So I feel God guided me away from the band to the sleeve. I have a few friends who were banded before I was sleeved and they have not even lost 20 lbs
