Will Hope your feeling better, ditto to what breezy said! Thanks for the information! Keep us updated! Krystl

Cammy, Thanks for your input! I think I'm gonna just do this one surrogacy and have the surgery. I'm gonna have another baby of my own but not for a few more years so that might be better on my body to wait. I always read that the bypass you shouldn't have babies cuz you won't get everything you need, but you can get most of what you need once you are stable in your wt after sleeve. As for the meds, my insurance covers all meds with $25 dollor copay. And if they wouldn't pay for extra ultrasounds then I could get them free at the clinic I work at. I'm a nurse that works with OB and family practice doctors and we do sono's in the office. But like you said I don't think I would risk it either! So I'm not going to do surrogacy after sleeve. I have had few Surrogacy Agency's say its fine after 18mns, but I'm not going to risk it for a family that's already spent enough to get to surrogacy. Thanks for your input girl! Congrats on your little one!! Krystl

I totally understand where your coming from! I have lots to lose and hate it.! I'm going to do strict diet for a surrogacy that I'm fixng to do and then I'm going to mexico next year to get sleeved! I just want that normal life also! Hang in there and I hope everything is approved for you soon! Krystl

Gd luck! From all I have read you should be fine. Why not see if anyone else will be doing the sleeve w/ dr. Aceves the same day and u can have a sleeve buddy! Hope you get your date! Krystl

Will, that's wonderful for you! Hope gas moves on out soon and you start feeling better! I haven't heard of these doctors. Do you know if they have a website or something? I'm researchin now, surgery next yr! Good luck!

Hey deb, congrats on ur practice pre-op. I don't have date yet but u make me want to try it too! Gd luck! Krystl

Wow! I thought I was the only one! I'm one of the happiest ppl you will meet, but if you got a look inside my head you would be running! Its what diet will I do this wk, I know I can handle no carb this time, new diet pill!, new work out video!, and so on. Glad to know I'm not the only one! I think as long as you are doing it for ur self then who cares what others think! I hope your all "big losers" soon! Congrats to those who are already! Krystl
