  4. I am so excited for you. Don't worry about a bobble head. You will be fine. Good luck!!!!
  5. I am so glad that y'all responded. To me this is not something that people typically talk about but it has been bothering me. I wish there was a way to make sure that I don't become a bobble. A sexy and healthier bobble but, still a bobble. On a better note, I am waiting for my insurance pre-approval. Whoo hoo!!
  6. Does anyone know why people heads look bigger after the surgery? I
  7. Please don't laugh at me. I am wondering why following surgery people's head seem disproportionate. Have you noticed this as well?

  12. Congratulations! I am excited for you. I was sleeved in KS. No excess skin, but I really think it depends on how much weight you have to lose and how fast you lose it-not necessarily race. I was sleeved 4/1/15 have lost 45 lbs since surgery (am 5 lbs. from goal now). That's an average of about 2.5 lbs. /week. Good luck!Thank you. I actually just moved from Kansas to RI.
  13. Hi Ladies, I have moved states and I have an appointment tonight for the initial group consultation. I have a few questions: 1) Has anyone been sleeved in RI? 2) I have been told that excess skin is not a problem for African Americans. Is that true in your case?
  14. You look great! Congratulations!!!
