Planning on my yearly trek to the Bonnaroo Music Festival; I would be 18 days out from being sleeved, is this too early to be in the elements for four days? I won't be camping, I will be sleeping in an air-conditioned tour bus each night. I always have a camelback strapped on so Water is always close. Thoughts? Thanks Www.bonnaroo.com

Getting mine @ Vandy on 5/21/12.

Four weeks out ... CONGRATS!! Interesting question; I can't recall a time, looking back at a trip, vacation or event where I say to myself " now that was a a great meal" most of my meals come and go. I am no epicurean. I work for a French company and complained about the food the last time I was in Paris so short answer, FUEL, bring it. MY problem, when I have been hungry on the road, the drive through or office canteen means more to me for the savings in time.... That, will be my biggest challenge!! Thanks

Congrats on the surgery; I will certainly keep everyone posted!

Hello, I was signed on with Dr. Melvin but by the time I completed my pre-reqs, Dr. Melvin was booked three months out. I have my surgery in 21 days with Dr. Clements. The staff has been great and luckily my insurance has covered every step, I will be completing this journey for a $250.00 copayment thanks to BCBS of IL.

Will do, thanks!

Dorrie, looking forward to adding "skinniness" to my vernacular someday, congrats on your success and thanks for sharing.

First post for me. I completed my 6 month Doc monitored diet last week, insurance approved in two days, surgery scheduled in 21 days and I woke up this am thinking "holy cra_ what have I done". I think I am most nervous about the first 48 hours; most of the posts have been from the ladies and some of them had some bad reactions. Other than that, I am most looking forward to kicking type 2 diabetes; I am tired of injections, sticks and a handful of pills each day.
