Yep same grade in school. My name is Ty Green, well Jackson now. So who was your surgeon?

I'm having band to sleeve revision in Nashville on Monday. How was the recovery?

I had recovered great, just have that band failure on my brain, like it may happen again. I feel good and have already lost 53 lbs since 4/21.

I'm just starting out. I have a seminar on July 15th with Dr. Rutledge. I'm wanting the sleeve. Hopefully everything will go quickly. Where did u have your surgery?

Sounds like you are doing great. I think failing this surgery is a big part of my fear right now. I keep telling myself that the band failed me. I couldn't live with the complications that having a fill brought on but it's still a failure in my mind.

Are any of you having then RNY??

I feel great. I had my surgery In Mexico. Everything had went great.

I'm in East TN and having my surgery on 7/1. Let us know when you get your date and keep us posted on your journey. I just started my pre-op diet on Tuesday and I think I was more scared of it than the surgery (I just didn't think I could do it). It's actually not been too bad. I went ahead and prepped freezer meals for my husband and son before I had to start the pre-op so I wouldn't feel like I had to cook anything I couldn't eat!!! LOL! I'm sure that has helped.

I have been freezing meals for my husband too. I have been focused on getting things ready in my house so after surgery I only have to think about a safe and quick recovery.

If you go to Mexico to have the surgery, most of the time that's out of pocket correct?

I am from east TN!

Yes Mexico is out of pocket. Insurance won't pay for you to go out of the country.
