    Costco shake prices?

    That is awesome that you mentioned the premium protein shake because I originally watched a woman on you tube drinking it and I was interested in trying it and the only place i know she gets it from is costco. I have a coworker that goes there all the time and she's going to get me a bulk and I'm going to pay her back so when she gets me It I will let you know!

      Ok I do understand! I have kinda changed my mind and have been thinking about doin the sleeve, but it seems more evasive than the band and I ONLY wanna do this ONE time! A girlfriend of mine had the sleeve and is doing well with it and I have heard any complaints from her about it. I just need to find out whats the difference in price one vs the other! So, we will see Im hoping I can change my mind and NOT upset them and switch the surgery, but @ least Im doing it before next month because my surgery is June 20th. Im excited, but I gonna consult again to make sure I can change if not I will be keeping the lap band. Good luck with everything and hopefully everything will start moving in the direction for you.

      Yeah i totally understand about only wanting to do this one time! Are u paying out of pocket or do you have insurance helping you? I would look into more info on the sleeve and the band so your 100% sure.. so you dont have any regrets or anything. Good luck girl!

      I am paying totally outta pocket NO insurance help @ all! I may contact them to see what they say about the sleeve I just dont want a huge scar or anything of that nature! So, I will be calling them today. Thank you and the same to you!

    Who Are You?

    Hey Everyone! I am 26 Ive been struggling with my weight since I was in the 4th grade. Ive tryed every diet out there it seems like I'll loose 40 lbs then I'll gain the 40 back PLUS 10-15 more! I have been going through the Aetna process since December. First I started with a seminar and they discussed the three different weight lose surgeries. I was leaning towards the Vertical Sleeve. After my first appointment with the Surgeon Eric Lough at Southwest Bariatric surgeons in Ausitn TX (( BTW if anyone has had him and has already had the surgery Id love to discuss your process)) I decided that the Vertical sleeve would be the best for me! I have already gone through all the required steps for aetna like: getting my 2 year weight history(barely had 2 years) going to a nutrironal and a exercise physiology consulatation(With jerry at SBS in Austin), 4 nutrion consultations (Shelley Madsen & Associates), & I Just finished the Psychological Assessment with Marilyn Ross (Austin). I talked to my Advocacy today & shes getting everthing together to send to my insurance!! I cant believe its already happening im super excited and hopefully I hear something back soon.

    Great news Joseainoa! Hopefully I'll be hearing some good news soon from my advocacy too
