Alex, I sent you a message, you never acknowledged it, just wondered if you got it, or do you get so many it is hard to answer each one. It had to do with the OAC conference in LA.

I started my journey last April. I then had a work injury in May, fractured my wrist, had complications and had to have surgery November 2014. Have a knee injury also. Anyway, I did my 6 months as blue shield required, but then being on work comp I had to deal with that too, so put things on hold. Finally decided enough is enough and went through all the tests, endoscopy, stress echo, have high bp, cleared by cardiologist, GI, psych, and finally got insurance approval and approval from the bariatric surgery people as they all meet, docs, psych, dietician, NP and they also have to say its a go. Now my date for the sleeve is 8/3, and I am starting to freak a little. Wondering about all the after surgery issues. Nausea frightens me the most, and or vomting, dehydration. Have my preop with the surgeon 7/22, and a preop seminar, hopefully alot of my questions and concerns will be addressed. Good luck to all the future sleevers, August, September and anyone after that. Thanks for listening
