My decision was for the sleeve but after looking at the cost i was leaning towards the band. What really changed my mind was the complications- 2 of my friends have the band one had to have it fixed tge other needs to have it fixed. I wasnt interested really in having control of the fills either plus i was concerned about the port(could i do mma with a port). I have a friend of the fam(like an aunt) who had the sleeve done and another friend that had it done they both recommended it. The reasearch from both sites and in general helped alot in knowing what could be ahead.

My consult is this fri. A friend of mine had his sleeve done and they highly recomended him. I went to the seminar they provide a few months ago and they were really nice and very informative. There staff was really nice when i called and talked to them to set the consult up. Im hoping i dont have to do any test with me being self pay. Deff interested to hear how the consult goes?

Thanks yes, im going with the sleeve seems to be the better choice for me. I dont drink much anymore. I was just curious.

I just came across this congrats on the loss. I hope i can acomplish my goals. deff more motivation to have it done thanks

Extra virgin olive oil. Sound good going to have to try this

Well my name is David im 29- about to be 30 this week. No kids and single. I just ended my contract in a real-estate position of 2 yrswill be back at the begining of the yr. decided to finally take the steps for surgery. I live in Dallas, Texas wouldnt mind going west though maybe one day lol. I am into all kinds of things cars active in my car club, paintball, college football (big oregon ducks fan here), tx rangers fan, mma, tattoos, and lots of other stuff. Just cant wait to do most of it. I have been looking into getting this done for some time now. Over the last 2 yrs even more serious my grandmother (who raised me) used to encourage me to get it done. I was always the big kid teased until i made the jokes first. I used to smoke its been about 4 months since i quite so its time to move on to bigger changes.

Ohh guys notice if your drinking your beer. friend - u gonna drink that or baby it all night lol Maybe bring it up and see what they say in general then go from there or tell them u have been thinking about it.

I told my friends and fam that im doing it. Its going to be that extra push if i think about backing out. Im doing this for me if they dont like it to bad. I have been lucky that every1 has been supportive about doing it but i also welcome the negitive. I have gotten alot of questions though. I guess telling them was like having more people in my corner. Dont be embarrased u tried it didnt work they dont understand or know what u have done thus far.

My uncle used to say i looked like kips the burger joint and it stuck. The bb is big boy i just spelled it w/ 2 p's and the 99 was my sports #'s. Thats my tattoo below. [ATTACH]5475[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]5476[/ATTACH]

Good luck. I had a sleep study done. Its hard to sleep at 8pm with insomnia lol. They woke me up every 30 min (mask, check finger sensor, another mask, chin strap, ect) then the goo the put on your head. My results were not good. They called me the next day for my machine. I have been using my cpap every night for the last couple months. I can tell a difference with it.

I refinanced my car and took out a loan on it. I have heard i can claim it on my income tax here in tx.

Hello every1. Im new here i have browsed around b4 getting some info. I have my consultation in a few weeks. I have decided to get the band and can not wait for this. I have been looking into the sugery for awhile and since im paying out of pocket that was tough too.

Thanks.since im self pay im hoping to get most of it back income tax time. I took out a loan to have it done. They are saying i could have it in as little as 2 weeks after the consult(2 weeks for the liquid diet). When i started checking it out the insurance told me it would be 6 months. Thank u lana i will prob be asking alot of questions.
