I am super excited and scared!! My date is for April 10th in Richmond, VA

Did you ever go to Dr. Schroeder Annette?

I'm in Richmond VA and about to have surgery on April 10. What doctor please!!!!!

Ha, ha!! Good because people don't need your advice if it's gonna be condescending! And we certainly don't need English professors on this site... I wonder if you were this mean when you were FAT!!! Probably not because you can't be fat, mean and ugly to folks at the same time. But hey you act more like female than male so who knows..... I hope you are well!! I don't need to block you, you now know how I feel about you LADY, I mean SIR!!!!

Recycled got smart with me on my first post about being nervous. I wish their was a block Button to block her. That's all!!! But anyway. .. I have my surgery on April 10th and I can't wait. I'm still nervous and definitely a newbie so sorry I don't have any advise on stalling in weight lose!!! Good luck with everything!!

I'm excited and ready

April 10!!!!

Well just got a call my surgery is set for April 10...... omg

I sure hope it comes soon. They tips me 2-6 weeks.

I have independent BCBS

No I did not. Just needed to see Nut, letter of recommendation and Psychiatrist.

I hope my days is in March. Hoping for the 24 as well!!!

OK... I'm super excited. I sent in all my paperwork on Friday. My patient navigator was on vacation until today. She submitted my paperwork at 10:30 today and called me at 11:45 am and tells me I was approved by BCBS. Now I'm waiting to schedule everything. Did not realize it would go this smooth. I was terrified at first but now I feel like this is all God's plan. Yay me!!

Mine to Belladonna... I was like omg!!!

I am ready for my life style changei just need to make sure I will be comfortable doing the sleeve. Thank you for toe words

Ok because I was looking for the science and could not find it. I was just reading about the complications. I am trying to get an understanding from success stories to complications.

Hello everyone. I am considering getting the sleeve done. In the beginning I wanted to get the lap band done because it is safer and if I do not succeed, hey I can take it out. Well after meeting with my surgeon and the psychiatrist, they both recommended the sleeve. I am not sure about the sleeve. My fears are they are first and foremost taking out my stomach. Who does that? What if I need that portion for something? and then the data is not up to date as far as I can see. Places I have looked say that there is not sufficient data on the sleeve. Also, the death rate scares me. I need help!! Anyone with words of wisdom and/or advise is more than appreciated. I am 379 pounds, married with 2 beautiful toddlers that I want to be able to spend the rest of my life with. So should I be afraid? HELP!!!
