All great info... Thanks

Yup. I sure am glad that I made this decision on my own..... Lol. Have a great recovery.

Yeah, I'm blessed to not have any of the challenges that come with being obese (high blood pressure, diabetes, etc). I have always been diagnosed as healthy for my size. What you said makes sense..... Thanks again.

Your welcome. I'm actually just finishing up my 2nd month of Bariatric weight management class and I have lost 17.5 lbs since May 3rd, so I am feeling really good about following the meal plan and lifestyle changes. The sleeve procedure is my first choice, but my doctor tends to prefer gastric bypass due to no long term research available yet for sleeve patients. I'm not worried about that (research), I'm going to press through the next 4 months of class and continue to prepare for surgery in November/December 2012. Wish me luck....no, pray for me.

Glad to hear that you are doing well. Your an inspiration to those of us that are months away.

Learning my food triggers is HUGE. Every since I started looking more into my eating patterns, I don't like what I see. I guess it's just a part of the process to a healthier me for the rest of my life.

I'm chugging along....chugga chugga choo choo

I had my first class for the 6 month weight management program yesterday. Have to get this out the way before surgery. I'm really excited about learning my food triggers and patterns in order to be successful after surgery. I'm still undecided on which procedure I will get. Pray for me.....

My first appointment is tomorrow.....just starting.

New to this forum. My first visit with my doctor is tomorrow and I am SUPER pumped about starting this journey. Do you guys have any suggestions for questions that I need to ask my doctor? Overall, hi, and I'm looking to gain great friends on this journey.
