P.S. Don't let anyone pressure you into doing a procedure you are not comfrotable with! This is your decision, he may make a recommendation or prefer one of the other BUT this is what YOU will live with the rest of your life.

Honestly, he may of had an "off" day but you should go with your gut. Liking his staff is certainly a plus! I saw my surgeon for the consult and about 5 minutes before surgery. Beyond that, my appointments were done with her assistant or staff which is not something they tell you. Go with your gut or know that someone with better bedside manner may handle your other appointments. If he's a good surgeon, you may want to stick around.... Good luck!

Let us know how you did! I know you will be fine. See ya on the band side.

Good luck, it is day 5 for me on my pre op diet.... I have cheated but I it is the headaches that are really bothering me.

Welcome Tiffany.......I had the lapband 2 years ago and I had about 170 pouds to lose. i lost around 90 with the band and then I hit a wall that would not move and my band was at full fill. I wanted to have the sleeve but my insurance said no so I went to Mexico and on Dec 11 I have the band removed and a sleeve done. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I have lost 29 pounds in 4 weeks and I am on cloud 9. My first question for you is how much weight do you need to lose? The band is fine and reversable but you still have problems as you do with the sleeve. I wish that I had done the sleeve in the first place 2 years ago and I would have been where I want to be a long time ago. I would be glad to chat anytime and answer any more questions that you have.

You can make it just keep yourself busy. If you feel like you are about to slip get up and go into the bathroom and take a nice bath or shower. You will feel better when you are finished. just remember the reward is worth the sacrifice.

your pics are lovely, and I hope you have a great date, in fact I hope you have a ton of great dates!!

yay! have fun! I hope your date goes great and most importantly that you enjoy yourself!

I can't wait for the day I can bend and actually tie my sneaker laces. If you all can relate to that.

Hey Smilecharmer... I have already lost seven pounds on pre op diet. That keeps me going. Each day has gotten easier for me. You can do this!! Good luck...
