This is a blow and I understand your disappointment. Take a minute to let it get to you...... Now that the minute is up, make your plans for losing the 20 pounds. Before my surgery, I joined Weight Watchers and lost more than 20 pounds in a few months. You can stay on the liquid diet. Weight can be lost any number of ways, it's the keeping it off that is tough and you won't have to go through the agony of trying to keep it off once you've had the surgery.
So get up and keep going for the golden ring. You made your decision; now you have to make it happen.
Please keep us updated on your progress.

So, I found the site yesterday. It's been a long journey, deciding to finally have this surgery. I'm 23, with a 2 year old daughter from Michigan. I had my consultation appt yesterday. I have one of the few insurances that doesn't have the 6 months worth of weigh ins and tests that need to be done. I made an appt with my regular care physician for later this month. Waiting for the number for a Psych Eval. Once I get the release from my doc and the Pysch Eval, it will only take a few weeks for the Ins Co to turn it over. So, it should be around the end of next month - into October that I'll have it done. I've heard nothing but good things about the sleeve. My cousin has had AWESOME results and he got it done nearly a year ago. So any information that can be given to me on what to expect the first few weeks, it would be great. I know about reintroducing foods to your stomach post op and the sort, but I would love to know what everyone has experienced. Though, I know that everyone is different. Thanks, ya'll!
