I need to lose 120-140 pounds and I am not sure if the sleeve would get me those kind of results. My surgeon says that r en y is the best. But I workout and think that the sleeve is a better choice. Has anyone lost 130 pounds or so? What was your time frame to do so? Does anyone workout? Basically any advice would help thanks guys.

My surgery is JULY 25th. OMG 5 days

Hi guys I can't believe it but i am approved!!!! In less than one month I will have my wls

They sent it in this Monday and I was approved today wends

I'm in white bear lake mn

What is NSAIDS??

Thanks

The most important thing is documentation when it comes to having insurance pay for things and it depends on your insurance. Mine will pay for TT and full body lifts including breast lifts. I can tell you that as far as the TT is either has to be significantly loose or cause you some discomfort or rash.

Amazing

Well not him paying for the tummy tuck, but that he can usually get our insurance to pay for it.

He said in his seminars that he can get ins to pay for the tummy tuck. Wow great success!!! That's amazing I know you feel soooooo much better. Do you still feel hungry? And lastly did you have any complications? Ok one last lastly how was Kelly's bedside manner and how fast did Nikki get you approved? Thanks

Nice how long did it take u to lose the weight? What has ur experience been?

Nice that's who I am thinking about. I wanted dr Rupp but was told that dr Kelly is better for sleeves. I am glad to hear that someone actually did go through it with him. How long did it take u to lose ur weight? Did u get approved for the tummy tuck by him? I am 5,4 and 260 pounds 28yrs old.

I am from WBL and I am thinking about st paul surgeons I have been told they don't do many sleeves but they will do it. I have Ucare and all is going well I hope to be approved soon

And how much are they??

I hope my sex drive doesn't increase or I will be like that show 20 kids and counting lol. Not quite that extream but u get the idea. I think I have a very good sexual drive I do hope however that after surgery I will feel sexier and bolder about sex and that in it self will make it so much better

Where do u get the isopure drinks? Walmart ?

Thnks Patrick I am in the same boat. I got approved for WLS in 2006 and decided to wait (what was I thinking) I guess u get so much pressure from family and friends to try harder so that's why I waited. And I did try very hard, I still am I do p90x and work out but the pesky pounds don't budge too much. Then if I stop working out they come right back. I have known people who have done the band and RNY but no sleevers except my you tube and here. I guess one thing I am still a little confused about is the difference in amount of weight u can lose with the sleeve. Does it just take a little longer? Again I am willing to do my part and if the hunger hormone is gone then I think I would do great. Oh one last thing I've seen people say I don't stretch out ur sleeve as much as some stretch their pouch and this doesnt make any sense to me. Any ideas as to why that would happen like that?

Mamaof8 let me applaud u because Atkins isn't easy. I was on it before, well I guess most of us have been on every diet imaginable. But my point is I think that's great that u are being proactive Can't believe u have 8 kids wow I just have 4 I need to get working to catch up w u:)

I find it very informative too. And I am thankful to learn from people who are going through this as well

As many people have already said that was awesome to see you look like a totally different person just amazing. I am the same way about being totally comfortable in my own skin, maybe I'll be this bold when I lose my weight too.... Maybe.
