Hi everyone, I'm in Monmouth County NJ - have tentative surgery (sleeve or band - leaning toward sleeve) scheduled for 4/12...anyone else use Bayshore Community Hospital in Holmdel? How was your experience there? I have Dr. Karl Strom (with Dr. Shakov assisting)...they are both so nice and helpful. Wishing everyone the best...I'm very glad to have found this site. May you all be very blessed in your journey!

Hi everyone...I am tentatively scheduled for an April 12th surgery...just beginning with my NUT and other doc appointments for clearance. I'm having it here in the US. I am in a very unstable place right now, going back and forth and back and forth between the Sleeve and the LapBand. I am leaning more toward the sleeve now. I feel excited, but nervous... I wish all of you so many blessings on this journey!

Hello everyone...I don't know if this topic is still active, but I am new to this site...and I am thrilled to have found this Christian Sleevers group. I have surgery possibly scheduled for 4/12/13 if all goes well. I have been bouncing back and forth between the Band and the Sleeve. My biggest dilemma with the Sleeve is...am I doing something wrong as a Christian, by messing with the anatomy He created? I find your various answers very thought-provoking and helpful. I know I have already messed with my anatomy by becoming morbidly obese...but cutting away most of the stomach seems so drastic at times in my head. However, the Band has its own set of problems (I know no WLS is perfect), therefore is my growing interest in the Sleeve. I mostly beleive WLS is a blessing to help me in this day and age of technology etc. Well, I am saved by Jesus no matter what I decide...how wonderful is that!!? I hope to hear clearly from Him by getting some peace on this. I wish you all many blessings on your journey...and look forward to reading more on this site. God bless you all!
