Hello all.

My appointment with my doctor was today.

After talking with the surgeon and with the nurse, it looks like the best option for me is the bi-pass. I was starting to feel that might be what he would tell me, giving my BMI of 70. I know some of you have done it, but one thing she said, is that with my weight, it is commong for people to loose half of what they are overweight, then after that it is more difficult to loose the weight,, she asked if I would be ok if I only lost half of The weight that I needed to be at a normal level, and thinking about that, it would leave me at around 200lbs, and that is not what I want, I like to be 130-150. Is a long road ahead of me, but with the bi-pass seems that will be less time.

They where very good at informing the good and bad of both surgeries, and this doctor has best in the state for surgeries on both types. So with that said, my surgery will be scheduled tomorrow after I make one appointment for my pshycollogical evaluation, once that date is made I can arrange to get my date, and I go and get my blood work and EKG done too.

Well for now I say my goobyes, I will search for a forum on the bi-pass for support with that.

Best of luck to all, and may you all loos tons

Hello all.

Just wanted to hop in here and say hi.

I am still not having the lap band surgery, will have the

Gastric by-pass still, and now I have a surgery date.

I will go in on January 8th.

Sometimes I get so scared thinking of what will be done at me, but I am convinced is for the best.

Congrats on all your dates mine came up earlier then I thought, as my pshyc eval was not scheduled until January 30th, but they had a cancellation last Tuesday and they called me in to see if I could be there in 1.5 hours, so I did took it and drove like crazy lol. So stoped by the surgeons office to schedule my surgery, will post again after surgery just to let you all know I made it ok and how I am doing, hopefully.

Best wishes to all and good luck!

Good luck Conchita, its still a journey just a different path!

Good luck with your surgery, hope it all works out!!

Good luck to you, I know it was a hard decision ..

It doesn't matter how you get there, only that you get there. Good luck!!!!!

Good luck Chiquita, will be thinking of you.
