Thanks for the link - extremely interesting. I am going to put this on my list of things to ask the surgeon at my next appointment.

Ashley ~ thank you very much for your post. You are so right! Good Luck with getting your surgery date!

Congratulations! This is actually my first post - new to this obviously! I am going for my informational session on Wednesday and hoping to get sleeved in the next 6 months. I was interested to know how you went about telling your mother. I know it sounds crazy since I am 38 years old, but I'm concerened that she is going to be upset. She too is overweight and has been for a long time, but just recently she has lost 30 lbs. through a lot of hard work and the passing of my father. Any advice???
