  1. It's certainly been awhile but my boss was on vacation last week so I filled in what most of what they do and was too busy to update. Had my first seminar on Wednesday last week with Dr. Lamond and it went wonderfully, my boyfriend (I hate that term since we've been together for eight years and have a child together but we are not married) went with me and he suggested after hearing all of the info that I switch the procedure to a Gastric Sleeve since it appeared "safer", but I am set on the Roux-en-y. I was a bit surprised that I got an appointment with Dr. Kligman so fast considering Dr. Lamond at the seminar said it might be a couple of weeks but mine got set up for exactly a week after the seminar, so this Wednesday. I'll talk with Dr. Kligman and see what he suggests would be in my best interest as far as surgery. Luckily when I called my insurance for the fourth time I found out more information than I did the first couple of times, they will be paying for everything pre and post op so that is a relief, even the psych eval, I did get the name of the person who I spoke with but even if they end up saying they won't cover pre and post op procedures but they will cover the surgery I will still go through with it because this isn't something I want, it

      Good luck! It sounds like you are on the right road for success. Make sure you do your research on both surgeries, there are benefits to both and your health history plays a huge role. For example, if you suffer from heartburn, reflux or Gerd the sleeve can make it worse where as RNY will cure it. There are many other things to think about so make sure you research.
