Your welcome. I'm actually just finishing up my 2nd month of Bariatric weight management class and I have lost 17.5 lbs since May 3rd, so I am feeling really good about following the meal plan and lifestyle changes. The sleeve procedure is my first choice, but my doctor tends to prefer gastric bypass due to no long term research available yet for sleeve patients. I'm not worried about that (research), I'm going to press through the next 4 months of class and continue to prepare for surgery in November/December 2012. Wish me luck....no, pray for me.
