  1. My name is Shelly, 42 yrs old, married,1 son, an RN and I live in Illinois I feel the same way. One day I'm beyond excited then the next I'm frantic and I think I should postpone lol It doesn't help me when I read some of the horror stories that happen I know this is the right choice for me though. My son (19 yrs) was sleeved in December and is down 94 pounds (30 before surgery and 64 in last 2 months) I know this works:) Good luck to all of us and we definitely need to stay in touch!!
  2. My surgery is 2/28 too Haven't found anyone else with that date yet. My pre-op testing is Tuesday. Go from excited to anxious to scared lol Hope all goes well for ya
  3. Our hospital just started doing gastric surgeries last fall. I have researched them all and feel that VSG is the best choice for me too. I've heard some horror stories about the band. My son had the sleeve done 12/17/12 and is down a total of 94 lbs (pre-op diet and after surgery). The results have been tremendous and I feel comfortable with my choice Congrats on making your choice!!
