Wow, I didn't know that we needed vitamins for life...kind of worries me that someone stated that it can cause brain damage!

HI AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE. I HAD A QUESTION FOR YOU. IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY BEEN SLEEVED THEN HOW IS IT THAT YOU'VE ALREADY LOST 31 LBS? I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOSE 10PERCENT FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD, BUT IS THAT MANDATORY? I MEAN WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T LOOSE 10 PERCENT. IT'S SO HARD FOR ME TO LOOSE THE WEIGHT HENCE THE PART OF WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY.... ALSO, HOW DO THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR GOAL WEIGHT SHOULD BE? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.:confused:

Thanks for the reply. Where are you located? I'm in the Los Angeles region. I'm not sure if OPTIONS if different in other places or if there is other locations in the first place, but I was thinking that your BMI must be under 40 if you have to go through all those requirements. I have BMI of over 40 and when it is over 40 you don't have all those requirnements. I was just referred and right away sent to evaluation and I was approved already. Also, This might make you happy...I spoke to OPTIONS 2 days ago and they informed that they they did in fact shorten the weeks of the classes we need to take. They use to be 24 weeks of classes, but they cut it in half! now it's only 12 weeks (3 months) and you go once every 2 weeks. so basically 6 classes. then you have to do the pretest and shortly after you get your date =) but the only bad thing is that, like I had mentioned before, There is a wait list for those classes. in my case they told me it was aprox. 3 month wait. but I'm preparing by working out so I can try getting more muscle so that HOPEFULLYYY I wont have toooo much excess skin, especially around the arms and theighs =/ don't care too much about the stomach, I will eventually get tummy tuck. (If all goes as planned) If you don't mind me asking, What are your stats? and how old are you? Where are you located?
