Thanks for all of your input feeling much better about my descision to get the sleeve...and yes I'm going to keep my sleeve on the down low to :ph34r:

Hey everyone I'm really intersted in hearing how you VSG patients with a low BMI are doing? As for me I'm 5'7 tall and weight 229 my bmi is around 35 I would like to lose about 75 to 80lbs...I guess my question is would you do it again if you had less then 100lbs to lose? My surgery date is scheduled for 26 Sep and I start my pre-op diet tomorrow...I'm just really super nervous ...excited....scared...and happy so many mixed feeling... Thanks!!!

Hi I'm at Ft Sill as well and I am so upset that they stopped doing the sleeve there, I also got all the info on the other 2 surgery optiones but it seems that no one knows or is willing to help me find a way to get the sleeve : ( ......I have never been more sure about wanting the sleeve than anything else.....( totally frustrated)

Thanks for all the info I guess I will talk to my PCM and have her change my birth control : )

Hi I'm new here and I have my first surgery consultation 4/19 ....so i read somwhere that you have to be off birthcontrol before surgery, so my question is is that true and if so why?
