Hello everyone! I started inquring about WLS last month, since it seems like my weight just keeps climbing and climbing, dispite all the excerising, diets, and pills that I take. I initially started wanting the LB, but after doing more and more research on the different kinds of WLS, I have decided that the Sleeve is the right choice for me! Having a weight problem my entire life..loosing, then gaining twice what I lost, I am to a point of my life that I need consistency and I feel in my heart that the Sleeve will give this too me. Since making this decision, I have attended a WLS seminar, and my first appoint with the doc and nutritionist is June 15th. I am so excited to get my ball rolling!!

Welcome and congratulations on making the decision. You'll find a lot of information through these boards and a lot of support as well.

Thank you Nancy! From what I have seen so far on this site, it is a big support system; which is great!

Hi Bsugar,

Welcome, and congratulation on making the decision. I was going to go with the lapband, until I learn about the sleeve at the seminar. I changed my mind about LB, and deicide to go with the sleeve as well, I’m on a six month supervised diet right now, but I am looking forward to being sleeved, sometime in the near future.:

Thanks Gina and Deb! My insruance requires a 3 month supervised diet program, which I was told by my doctor's office that it can be done there. I am thinking that the 15th will start that journey for me.

Welcome! You will love your sleeve! Congrats on getting started on your WL journey, hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Welcome. Can't wait to have you on the losers bench!
