I chose the sleeve over the band because after a very candid and frank discussion with the surgeon, it seemed like a better option for me. He actually told me that I would do better with sleeve or RNY, but he would do the band if I was set on it. After our discussion and some research, I decided he was right and I am going for the sleeve.

I am really happy that I chose this center. The staff is really compassionate and caring. I am a little up tight and hard on myself at times, and they always make me feel better and keep me focused on the successes in my pre op journey, not the failures.

Thanks for the support. I am working hard on it. mRight now I am being treated for H Pylori. I think my next tests will be in Sept. I am hpoing everythingis clear and I get a date in October. What a super birthday presnt to me. Maybe I'll see you in the office sometime.

Good luck Shawn. His staff is awesome. I have some things that are going on that are hindering me getting a surgery date. The staff @ the clinic schecks on me and encourages me to keep going. The insurance co has already approved me, I have to get some of my numbers down from my last labs.

Thanks. I am working hard on it.

I have EA sports active for kinect. It came with exercise bands and a heart monitor.

I had a rep from the insurance company that I constantly stayed in touch with. She was probably ready to get rid of me.

The sports game I do play against other's online. The other's I don't think I can. You would be suprised how much fun you can have and still get a workout in. I also play with my family every chance we get.

I have an XBox 360 with Kinect. I use it for exercise. I have a couple workout games, sport games, dance games, and Zumba. With the Kinect you are the controller so it is really hard to cheat the game. I get a really good workout. I can do it on my schedule because it's in my house. I think it's a good idea to use these game consoles for exercise.

My paperwork was submitted to the insurance company yesterday. I got my approval today!!!! I am so excited. I still have to get my A1C down to get cleared by my doctor, but as far as the insurance co goes, I am approved!!! I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. First hurdle cleared, it's all on me now. I have seen my daily numbers looking much better in the last 2 weeks. I am halfway to a surgery date. HOORAY!!!!

My Dr. increased my Metformin today. Hopefully that will help. I am definitely going low carb high protein.

Thanks for easing my mind some. This A1C thing is the last thing I need to do. I think I can do it. Now I just need to turn words into actions.

I will be praying for you. This was truly a blessing that they found it now. I hope everything goes well.
