I am in the the process of getting ready.I've seen the shrink and now have papers to prove that I'm not crazy.LOL!! I thought I had my mind made up for the lap band surgery until I visited the surgeon this week. After talking to him I have just about come to the conclusion that maybe the sleeve is the best option for me. I go to a support group meeting Monday that will have patients with all 3 wls types there. I'm hoping to get some good info there. After reading your stories here it sounds like many of you have had good results with the sleeve. Everyone here seems so positive and encouraging. I'm glad I found you...Carole

Hi everyone. I'm glad I found this group. I am just starting. Today I worked on my paperwork. I went to a meeting yesterday to get the paperwork and the list of things that have to be done before the banding. I started this about a year ago but chickened out. Here I am a year later and 20 more pounds. The next step after turning in the questioner is the physical. I will make that appointment tomorrow. I'm glad you are all here. At least I am not alone.
