The Start Of This Journey

[kmed21 41]

Hi everyone, my name is Kimberly. Today I attended the orientation for bariatric surgery, and filled out all of my paperwork. They tell me I should hear back from them at the beginning of the week to schedule my first appointment with my surgeon. I have decided to have the verticle sleeve gastrectomy. The lapband didn't seem like it had a high enough success rate, and the Roux-En-Y looked too risky. So, I settled for the middle! Hahaha! I've very excited, and nervous. So, we'll see how this journey goes. Good luck to everyone on their journeys!

Hi, Keep come back here. There is a wealth of information you can learn here! I was sleeved on Feb. 4 and I could not be happier with my decision!

Thanks guys! I am near Asheville, and I'm hoping to have Dr. Alan Bradshaw do mine. He started the bariatric program in town. I'm hoping by September I'll be "sleeved"! We shall see!
