Rock on! I love the smell of essential oils, but my skin can't handle it without blistering. Enjoy, I envy you.

I met with Dr. Michaelson two weeks ago, but just found your post here. I brought in a lengthy list of questions, and Dr. Michaelson read through them all and was careful to make sure the questions were all answered. His explation of the procedure, and his attention to my questions made me very comfortable moving forward with the surgery. My surgery is scheduled in December.

My surgeon also requires the 3 month wait between band removal and surgery. What was the band removal recovery time and experience for you, please?

Hi Radar, Good for you taking ownership of dinner, that is an excellent idea. This is your journey, and while all the support we can get is appreciated, we are responsible in the end for our own success. Finding ways to make this work is exactly how to be a can do, empowered owner of your own success.

I met with my surgeon last Monday. I had read so much, attended two different surgeon groups weightloss seminars at different hospitals, read posts here, and anywhere I could find info, etc. I need to have my lap band removed first. My heart/gut feeling is that I will be happy with the sleeve. My head and a few things I read made me question if I needed to go with the RYN. I was very happy my surgeon said he would do either, but agreed I should do fine with the sleeve. I am excited to get this process underway.
