So I know I haven't been on in a while but here is my update. Everyone had really motivated me to continue and fight or happiness and health in my life! I moved to Florida and changed my PCM. The base referred me to out patient because of the age restriction. Now I have to go to the seminar today with Dr. Baptista before I can even make an appointment. I had a long talk with my provider and I'm torn between the lap band and sleeve gastroestomy. Any advice ladies? How are you doing with the band? I will try to update you as much as possible.
