I still have a few pre-op conditions to satisfy. Hope to be done by Oct/Nov. Actually hoping for September but that seems unrealistic now. Congrats to TracyZ on the loss! :) and futureskinnypants, I'll be checking out your video blog from home. :)

Looking forward to losing with you all.

Hi!

I'm new to this board and considering getting the sleeve. Was just approved for the band but realized along with my doctor that the band was ntot the best option for me and the sleeve would be better. Due to some travel, I can't have it done until November. Looking to meet new friends and gain support and information as I go through this journey. It's scary!

Was wondering who everyone is using as their doctor and what your experiences have been!

My Dr. is Attia in South Jersey. We also decided that lap band was not my best option. I had my last NUT visit this morning and only need my psych eval. I have an appt for it on 9/11 but I'm trying to get into somewhere else sooner. Hopefully I can. Cannot wait to get my date. Super excited to begin this leg of my journey. Look forward to sharing with you. :)

Thanks Tracy. :) I'm a little southwest of that but can pick it up from route 9 without much problem.

If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to lose the 60? It seems the closer I get the more worried I become.

NUT visit went good and my psych is the 5th...freaking out.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
