Well I was hoping to have my sleeve in 6 wks, BUT I found out from my GYN I gotta have a procedure done BEFORE my sleeve. Since my visits with nutritionist and surgeon will be over in next two weeks to three weeks (hopefully), and I have four weeks of liquid diet prior to being sleeved, I was hoping this would happen in the next 6-8 wks. I wish they could get this GYN crap out of the way (like tommorrow) so I can get my sleeve ASAP.

Also, I am very recently an ex-smoker of 20 yrs (two weeks), which I understand can create MAJOR complications with the GBP surgery. I think that was one of our reasons for leaning toward the vsg.

I have 185 to lose. I am not entirely sure the sleeve is the best option. I felt like it was, because weight loss was slower, therefore less loose skin hopefully. But I don't know if 185 lbs seems unrealistic with the sleeve.

Good Luck with that!

I am in Burlington. I have had my first appointment with Dr. Bruce from Carolina Bariatric Specialists. I am very excited to get this show on the road. Have all of my external pre-op appointments scheduled but the sleep study. Can I ask why you chose the sleeve?
