I was over on the Lap Band board until I found out today that the surgeon I've been referred to doesn't do them. So I'm here with the Sleeve people now.

I'll be here a while as I have to do the 6 month diet. My seminar is April 1 and we're estimating my surgery will be competed before the end of 2010.

I'm 35, married, roughly 37 BMI with sleep apnea, PCOS, infertility, an elevated A1C. I have Blue Care Network/ Michigan.

So, hello! :thumbup1:

Hello Julianne and welcome to the board. I won't go into it now, but whatever you do DO NOT get a band. That said, I used to have sleep apnea also, along with high cholesterol and triglycerides and depression that I took meds for. Now at 70/lbs less I no longer have ANY of those problems and am off the C-PAP machine and meds. I feel great and am so happy now. You'll love the sleeve. It will change your life!

Hello! Yep, it looks like a Band isn't even an option for me with this surgeon. Which looks like it's a good thing!

Looks like you guys have a ton of info here -- I'm excited to learn all about it!
