Am getting sleeved in December. I have my final dr visit clearance tomorrow and setting it up for December. Excited and nervous at the same time. I know I will get clearance from this dr for he has been pushing for me to do it for 3 years. I'll be glad when it gets started. Christmas will be a little different this year. But I am on my way to a more healthier me. That's all the Christmas present I need.

Congrats!

What site?

Have been going thru the insurance requirements and surgeon requirements. I am second guessing this surgery. I am 5' at 243# and have been looking forward to the surgery until my #3 of 6 pcp diet appointment. He told me he has seen many patience going thru what I am now. Have seen them back and regularly for two years. He said the majority of them come back looking like I do now. But 4 have died because of it. I'm now scared of my decision on this surgery and think I need to add another 3 months to my due date which is in feb/2014. I want to know what others think. I do know now I am not ready for this now but was sure I was before that appointment. Any input would be appreciated. Congratulations to all of your successes. Thank you Debra - confused that's 5' 343#

Thank you. I got my approval letter from my insurance last night. Gonna wait a couple of months tho if the surgeon will let me. I have 3 more visits with my pcp and I need to go to those. Again thank you for your input. Means a lot to me. Good luck on your continued success.

It's on the list. Thank you.

Your two cents is worth 1,000,000 to me. I agree he gave me a reality check. He has me journaling every thing that goes in my mouth. Of course I am using fitness pal. You don't realize all those empty calories that are in food. There is sugar in milk. Didn't know that. Coincidently I got my approval letter for my surgery last night. Gonna keep seeing my pcp for a couple more months if the surgeon office will let me. I have learned so much about this but when my pcp said that it scared me and made me question "do I really know this". Ya all are amazing. And with this forum I know I'm in good hands taking the journey with everybody. Thank you for your input. Good luck on your on going success.

I just got approved for the sleeve surgery. Thanks to all you comments. They have really helped me. I think I just have cold feet about this.

That 5' 343#. Sorry for the typo.

Congratulations. And good luck in your venture.

I have a fitness pal under my name and have a lot of people with different stages. I have not been sleeved yet but maybe February. Just learning as much as I van. You can add me by using my email address rodrdet@aol.com. Good luck on your venture.

I am using Dr. provost. He knows his stuff and am comfortable with using him. Surgery should be jan/feb 2004. Good luck on your surgery.
