Vita-mix is so ugly but, I LOVE IT!

Thanks everyone! I have gone through the insurance thing with Dr. Atkinson, I thought I wanted the lap band. He was great in answering all my questions! However, I changed my mind & decided I wanted the sleeve....Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover the sleeve. He charges $16,700 for cash patients. I meet Dr. Umbach wednesday. He charges $10,400 for cash patients. Both centers are Center of Excellence. My stomach hurts...so many decisions!

Laura- well your brows look great!

Sorry to be the party pooper but, really WTH is sliming & dumping all about? I seriously thought lap band had sliming and RNY had the dumping?!

You made me tear up! I started one for my daughter as well but, I get so emotional. Thanks for sharing, Kristina!

Simply Stunning!

Kari- Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Shotzzie! I actually went to a few of his seminars, they were very informative!

:lol: :lol:

(((LAURA)))

I don't see you Odette......I put my computer down!

I MUST PUT THE COMPUTER DOWN!

Thanks everyone for sharing! I haven't had one in 15yrs but the thought.....UGH, it's a little frightening! I won't know how I will feel after surgery...it's the fear of the unknown that I'm worried about. Honestly THIS wasn't an issue until I saw that damn vlog! Maybe I need to take a little break from the internet?

Sorry Yazzy! I had anxiety about 16yrs ago, on meds & it was pure hell! Never really had it since then & haven't taken any meds for about 15yrs. I just don't want to worry about this, this process is so stressful enough!

Thank you so much guys! I've been searching & lurking for a year now & that was the very 1st time I've heard of it too!?

I just saw a vlog on Youtube & the person said that anxiety & panic attacks are a common side effect with WLS?! Please tell me this isn't so! I'm getting worked up again, sorry.

Fiddleman, my husband totally agrees with you!

Bwahahahahahahaaaa, I'm dying!

I truly can't stop, I want to know everything before I have surgery.......Poor guy!

My Hubs is so over it.....He wants his wife back!

OH GAWD, you said.....BACON!

I had mine over a year ago & it was basically the same as Momonanomo. I was extremely nervous! It truly was a nice & enlightening conversation (minus the I want to hurt myself or others topic), I knew after the evaluation that I was making the right decision! You'll be fine, just breathe.

Oh, I fricken' ZOOMED too!

That's exactly what we need around here....Support & Humor!

YIKERS, DONUTS! Oh I feel for you, I really do! I hope when I'm sleeved, I'll be strong just like YOU!
