My sister and I are using Dr. Garth Davis with the Davis Clinic. I had heard very good things about him and his clinic. We went to several seminars before we decided on him. His staff is very efficient and quick and we felt very comfortable with him at the consult. We are having the VSG on 5/13!!! Good luck on your decision.

Congrats to you!! You have to be very proud of yourself for being such a young LADY and going thru this great journey!!! Keep up the good work and keeping checking in on this board. It has been very helpful to me. Congrats again!! Take care!

Congrats!!! That is one of the pleasures I miss. I can't wait until I can cross my legs in church. Thanks for posting this!! Keep up the good work!!

Good luck to you!!! I'm sure everything will be just fine. Keep us posted on your progress!

@jessicaamere: That is AWESOME!!! You should be really proud of yourself. Don't forget to take pictures so that you can "really" see how far you've come!!! Keep us posted!

Thanks!!! I'm reading it now

@sleeve me plz: I found alot of my information on www.longhaircareforum.com. [You don't have to join you can LURK" until you make a decision, just can't post until you join!] Those ladies on there are AWESOME!!! I grew my hair out for 6 months, I could not take it any more!!! I recruited Ladyvelvet [my Sister] to come over and give me my big chop!!! Honey was she reluctant!!! Anywho . . . long story short I have never regretted a single moment of being natural. If your hair is shoulder length then it will not be a big adjustment for you!! You will be surprised at how strong your natural hair is cause I know I was!! Good luck on your healthy hair journey!! BTW: you can look at my fotki to see my hair progression: http://public.fotki.com/2sweetnsugarland/

Good luck!!! Keep us posted!!

You are in my prayers!!! You will come thru with flying colors!!! Remember God is good all the time and He is in control!!! Keep us posted!!

I'm so glad you're feeling better. Take extra good care of yourself!!

I got my surgery date -- 5/13/2011 -- now I'm in the process of getting things together. I just finished making a big batch of chicken soup for my Hubby but I strained off 6 1/2 quarts of broth for me for those days when I don't want to drink the protein drinks all the time. I read on this site about a binder. Someone e-mailed me back and told me what it was but I forgot to ask where can I get one from??? I don't know if my surgeon requires me to wear one but I think I would benefit from it. Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks for the compliment Lady!!! Yep I'm loving my natural hair. I've been natural since 2/2011. I saw that CURLS in my Target but I didn't know anyone who had used it. I might give it a try. I saw that Target has KCCC line and Ms. Jessie's line. I was impressed!! Since you've been sleeved have you lost any hair??? Take care!

YAY for you!!! Congrats!!! Save room for me on the looser's bench, my date is 5/13/11!!

I got my date and so did my Bestie/Sister!!! Yep we are doing this together, she goes in first then it's my turn!!! Same surgeon, same time, same date, same hospital, same hospital room hopefully!!! Can you tell I love her to bits and pieces??? I could not imagine doing this with anyone else. My surgery date is Friday, May 13 and I've already started marking the days off on my calendar. I'm off now to change my signature and put my new information in!! Thanks to all you lovely sleevers who have given me such good words of encouragement!!! Save a seat for both of us on the looser's bench!!!

Thanks and congrats to you too!!! I don't think we'll need that much room on that bench!!! I can't wait! I'll be thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers on the 9th!! I've already put it on my calendar as a reminder of your date!

Thank you!!! We're both really excited!!! I can't stop smiling!! I know the people in my office think I'm loosing my mind but I don't care! I'm not telling anyone in my office what I'm doing. You know some people can be really cruel when they don't understand what's going on and what you've been going thru. I'm just going to take some vacation days and then return to work! Congrats on your surgery. I can't wait to start counting the days "after" I get Sleevie!!

Thanks a bunch!!!
