  1. Sounds wonderful. I can't wait to feel better about myself. Hopefully I'll get started soon. Just waiting on surgeon to call for first appointment. Lots to think about.
  2. 57 in 8 weeks is great !! Have you had any complications?
  3. I have hypothyroidism & depression but not anything like diabetes or high bp. I was set on the sleeve because of the rerouting of small intestine but after the seminar I went to I think the surgeon will suggest bypass , just the vibe I got from his lecture.
  4. I'm 5'5", 370#.. Would you choose sleeve or bypass? & why? Anyone started with my numbers & had sleeve?
  5. Good question. Now I'm wondering too.
  6. I go to my first seminar(required before my appointment to see the surgeon) on July 15. So I have 6mo+ to go.
  7. Thank you. It was my first one. Its on my back.

  12. Have you had your gallbladder checked? I had mine out years ago & it sounds like the right spot for it.
  13. Praying for you ! I'm sure everyone is nervous the days leading up to surgery. I'm just starting out on July 15th with my first seminar & I'm nervous :-). Enjoy the new you !
  14. I have it but I'm not sure. I would just call & ask them. Good luck.
  15. I go to my first seminar on July 15th then I will get a call to meet with my surgeon. Can't wait to get started. Been thinking about the sleeve for over now. Finally had enough. I'm scared but excited.
  16. I'm just starting out. I have a seminar on July 15th with Dr. Rutledge. I'm wanting the sleeve. Hopefully everything will go quickly. Where did u have your surgery?
  17. I'm 40.. but I have a nephew that's 30 so you might know him. Chad Barker he went to etowah city.
  18. I'm just starting, have a seminar on July 15th. I'm from Etowah but will be using a Dr. In Chattanooga.
  19. Thank you! I'm a single mom, so I'm worried about complications but I'm believing this is what's best for us. Hope all goes well with yours!
  20. I go to my first seminar on July 8th. After that I will get my first appointment with surgeon. Excited & nervous. I've been thinking about this for over a year. Pray for me :-)
