Today I have my first drs appointment at kaiser kinda of nervous.and also nervous on what my dr will say when I tell him I want to get the sleeve...

I felt the exact same way but was met with a very positive reaction. She was happy I was taking a big step to get my weight and health in general under control. I went into the appointment armed with lots of research and confident I was making the right decision for me, and in the end that is what is most important. Good Luck!!

Thank you jerseygirl yeah I did alot of reseach and also have a friend that got sleeved so that helped me alot

I know how you feel!!! My first appointment is next week and I'm hoping my doctor agrees with my decision to be sleeved instead of the bypass. In the seminar, he discounted the lapband and essentially useless now (too many problems), said he's done thousands of bypasses (which he has) and said that the sleeve has not been tested for 40 years like the bypass has but is a viable option. But, in my opinion, it's been tested enough. There are people on this site who are going on five or more years and seem to love it. Good for you for knowing what you want. Fingers crossed that I don't chicken out next week.

Yea I heard the bypass is not the best thing to get I done alot of research and people that got sleeved up have been giving good feedback on it ..and yes thers been alot of problems with the lapband because it can pop out of position and they do not do surgery again to fix it..but good luck to you thers nothing to be scared about
