So today I had my medical review and hubby demanded on going. What was suppose to be MY appointment turned to HIS appointment, he asked more questions about HIM and what HE needs to do to change HIS lifestyle. HE had more questions for the Dr. than I did, I was REALLY irritated..... BUT all in all my review went GREAT, all my labs were good and now onto the next step toward getting SLEEVED. I do have a question for you guys, the Dr. mentioned I should really consider the the Bypass vs. the Sleeve. He said that my labs indicate that I may be pre-diabetic, and that the Bypass would instantly reverse the pre-diabatic state. I am not feeling the Bypass too much, I really don't want that malabsorption issue. Did you guys experience the Dr's suggesting one over the other, and if so why did you choose the Sleeve? ANY feedback will help!

SML1997...I am with you on the GB, I just can't no way I am too scared to even think about that one. Although I have friends that have had it done and they swear by it, I still can't to risky for me. I am HAPPY to choose the Sleeve, any day of the week.

Thanks CR for your feedback!

GOOD for you Mz_Elle, thanks for you feedback and continued success.

Thanks Katie713, I am sticking to the Sleeve for those same reasons. I am so ready to be in ONDERLAND with ya!

Good for you 15Kgold, so happy your ok and SLEEVED. I can't wait to get this process over with all this pre-op stuff seems like an eternity!

babyblues, I agree I also have a problem with the unplugging and plugging elsewhere thing!

Changing...I agree that is the reason I do not want the Bypass, I too started this whole journey a few years ago wanting the Lap-band and so glad I didn't get that. I am still on the Sleeve bus, and hoping to get off at the losers bench!!

Excited for my medical review tomorrow, I'm hoping it all goes well. Anything I should know?

I attended my first support group tonight and I really enjoyed it, got tons of info on what to expect. I am definitely going to another, anyone else attending the support group in Corona?

What happens if you do not meet the 10% weight loss by the time you go in for your medical review, what will happen? Kaiser Sleevers can you give me feedback? I have lost, just not that 10%

Thanks everyone...sheesh, I need to get my act together again...lol, I am almost half way there!!!

I am not sure I want him to go, but he is insisting and I appreciate that he cares enough to want to go with me. What do you guys think?

Aligayle...I don't have a choice, lol. He already said there is no choice, he is going. After reading all the comments I guess it is and will be a good thing that he go with me. I do appreciate the fact that he is taking inerest in what i have decided to do to change ME and my life for the better. I hope it wears off on hit a hit too, lol.

Good for you Congrats to you!!!

Well Triggr and good luck to you...please keep us informed on your process!

Good question...I just turned 40 not Sleeved yet and my hubby mentioned having another child?? Ok, so umm yah...I too need to know what others are saying about that, I am very interested to know!

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback, this is all uncharted waters and I just want it to be as positive as possible. Gosh, I love this site!!!!

Thanks for your comment, it helps!

He is very scary about surgery and any type of procedure. So it's that possibilty of him being negative about the procedure or the process. Although he has been support thus far, just have the bit of hesitation.

Good for you Renee, can't wait until I get to the point!

Hey babyblues, I went in for my ultrasound and they found something on my kidney and required a CT to see what it was. For nearly a week I made myself crazy on google, I was already scared about the What IF's. I am thankful that it was nothing but swelling on the kidney and it was benign. I honestly didnt want anything to hinder my Sleeve, crazy huh. I will pray all is well with you and nothing is abnormal with your CT, please let me know what happens!

Yes, I would love to do the same what city?

Ok, so last week I was not happy, my pre-op ultrasound showed a shadow area on my kidney. Dr. ordered a CT to see if it was benign, I am so thankful to God....it's not the C word. Now I can proceed to my Sleeve process, meeting with Dr. on Friday with hopes of getting approved. Thanks everyone who gave me kind words and prayers, :) :rolleyes: I am praising God!

SweetTee, thanks so much for the kind words. Yes, God is Awesome all the time!!!
