Hi, OP here. Haven't logged in forever! I began my journey with a segment with Goldstein. I knew I probably wanted the sleeve, and more importantly, knew I did NOT want the band. I tried to ask Goldstein questions any the sleeve and he gave me weak answers, dumbed down, and would redirect the convo to the band. Between the Q&A experience and the heavily band centered presentation- I decided I wanted a doc on board with me. I switched to Neff. I called the office and cancelled my Goldstein appointment and scheduled one with Neff right away. No problem. That was talk years ago me though. It might be different now. Neff is great. I had broken up with my boyfriend the day of my last preop visit. I was a mess. He even has the right words to comfort me then. Compassionate, skilled doctor.

Sorry I've been gone so long. My sleeve is a absolute blessing. I've not been as diligent as I should be. I've gotten my associates, just moved to a new area to continue my education, a huge blessing, and was offered a full time hospice job. So- I hope to get back into a good eating routine and exercise routine now that I have order again. Hw:310 Sw:310 Cw:231 TPL:79 Tpg:150

Lori is correct. But if you find yourself second guessing just give her a buzz and ask questions, she can tell you whats up. Yes, you will need a swallow study. I drank dye and went under a flourascope. It was neat! I saw myself (my skeleton and muscle) swallowing. It was trippy!
