Yes we are sleevin' sisters Deb! Aren't you excited??? The closer it gets the more excited I get. Like most of us, I have tried so many things only to be disappointed with either the loss or the super-gain afterwards. I did a lot of research on the gastric banding before I considered this, and it wasn't until my surgeon told me that the success rate for banding is not very good after 5 years. My sister-in-law had Roux-n-Y last year and lost 81 lbs so far. She was about 10 lbs heavier than me, is a little taller, younger and less co-morbidities. It was the high HA1C's, not full-blown Type 2 diabetic but very close, that really made me decide. Now I wish my husband would consider, he's Insulin dependent Type 2 for many years and not very compliant with diet. Maybe I can convince him after I get mine done. Let's definitely keep in touch!!!!
