Good apple

I am in Raleigh too - same group as you just different surgeon. Let me know how it goes!!!

Thank you!!! Found it!!!!

You make 3 I've seen here so far (4 including me) who are all on for the 14th!!!

I have the 14th too!!!

Hey, I have the sme date as you!!

I am still pre-op but LOVING this thread cause I work with some nosey witches!!!!

Boss? Sounds like a pain, it happens and I've dealt with same. A couple of people at work, my Mom. They don't offer me anything or if they do it's a very small portion compared to everyone else. Makes me more self-conscious about my weight. I might not "need it" but that's my cross to bear. Hurts my feelings too, so I'm sorry you have to deal with insensitive a******. Truth be told, great big stomach, overweight people should get the biggest portion. I'm sure, everybody here knows, fat folks are always safe targets for discrimination. Sucks. For all the love and kindness people bestow, there are always some that spread sorrow. NUT? That is surprising from a professional. Mine was a skinny little man, but he was nice/understanding. Maybe he's afraid if he is crappy to big girls/guys, we'll eat him

Excellent point!

That is outstanding! Quite an inspiration! Thanks for the post.

I agree! Ur hair looks great!

Hey, I've had mine a while and trying to get back on it! Will send you a team request, I'm gonna be slow going too for now! So we can be in the bottom together! Same pic of my little dog on both apps!

Thanks a lot. I appreciate the insights.

Hello all and please excuse if this question is in the wrong forum.... I'm relatively new to the process, have had some appts and have 3-4 more to go. When I initially met with my to be surgeon, he said I would probably qualify for all the procedures (BMI 48 with few other medical problems). First, I thought the sleeve was the best, seemed less invasive, etc. But, now I am understanding that I will need to take Vitamins with both ( one or two more doesn't seem like a big deal), major dietary changes with both and the recovery time doesn't seem that much longer with the bypass PLUS the overall success rate seems better with the bypass. I do understand the bypass comes with additional risks. But, as this is a long complicated process, I want to make sure it sticks and long term success is my overall goal. What made you select the bypass over the sleeve? Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Curious, what made u choose the bypass over the sleeve?

Thanks for sharing, it was a really informative post!
