Anyone else having trouble getting in the gastric sleeve plication board? I have been trying since Friday and all I get is this error message "Could not determine your IP address" It only happens with this particular board. Is there a board owner or moderator that can look into this for me? Thanks in advance:mad:

Hello, my name is Sheila and I am tentatively scheduled to have the GPS with Dr. Watkins in Cincy on Nov. 10th. I am excited and nervous at the same time. The hardest thing I am having a problem with right now is family members who don't think I need the surgery. I think to them is is a worry rather than a you don't really need it. Anyone else have this problem? And hello JoanieW

Hey back. I am sure i will post more after my consults this Thursday

The only part that disturbs me about the procedure is that they do remove a portion of your stomach, so it is irreversible ========================== This is not true. They don't remove any stomach at all and it is reversible

Thanks and yes that is true. If I could do it on my own it would be done already! Since the surgery is so new I have to do a lot of research for them. So I am just going to tell them from here on out I am doing this either support me or we don't talk about it. My hubby has been great and he really surprised me when he said he wanted me to have it done. Said he worry's more about my health than the surgery. I think the one that has surprised me the most with the negative has been my sister. She needs to have it done herself so not sure where she is coming from with the "You don't need to have it done." We will work it out.
