Thank you. And yes its been actually longer. I had to do a 12 month supervised diet with my primary Dr AND then all the testing and classes etc through the clinic been a long time and I am ready!!
I also was in the same situation. My surgeon said he did not want to do the lap band as it is not as good of results and that I would do so much better with the sleeve. I was torn as I did not want to do the bypass as its just to envasive and I am just not comfortable with it. So I picked the middle of the road. I am just waiting on a blood test in end of Nov and then setting a date for the 1st of the year.
Good luck to you
Good luck to you! I have been jumping through hoops and seeing dieticians, psyhcologist and everything else for 12 months. I am hoping for Jan 2013, I should have satisfied all the garbage for the insurance co
