Hey there fellas, I'm relatively new here. I'm jumping through the hoops too, currently in the process of losing weight so that they will give me a surgery date. I'm currently 6'1'' about 390lbs, they want me to get close to 360lbs. I'm still considering gastric bypass, but heavily leaning towards the sleeve. What was it that convinced you to go for the sleeve (over gastric bypass)? ~Eric

Hi Lisa, I had the orientation last week (10/5) and will be taking the nutrition/lifestyle classes next week. I have not met with the surgeon yet, but hopefully that will come soon. With what I've learned so far, I'm leaning towards the sleeve. Do you have a surgery date or will that be settled after your appt on the 26th?

Hi there Chrissy, I used to be a Sacramento guy, but now I'm in Sonoma County. I just completed my orientation at Kaiser South San Francisco and will be going through the hoops. I'm not sure if a December surgery date is realistic, but I'm crossing my fingers. I'm still torn between the sleeve and gastric bypass, so I guess I'll educate myself a bit more and see what the surgeon says!
