  1. Darn it, but family takes priority ! ! ! I hope you have a lovely Easter, and many congrats on your lab results. . . Hopefully, we'll back that way for the holidays, and we can see each other during that trip.

  2. That would be so awesome. I've been checking out some of the monitors, but I've been hesitant to buy one. I'll shoot you a message with my address. Thank you so very much.

  3. I grew up in the area, and lived there my entire life. Either way, I'm easy breezy. I'm just stoked to be able to see everyone.

  4. Literally right off 820 and Blue Mound Rd. I'll shoot you a message with my cell phone number so we can figure it all out. I'll refrain from smoking in the car with you. I'll probably have a rental car.

  5. Wooohooo, I am actually staying in Fort Worth/Blue Mound area with my younger brothers, so if you wanna carpool let me know.

  6. Thank you for the sweet comments on the pregnancy thread.

  7. I'm so sorry you are getting the run around with insurance. I hope something comes through soon. Stay strong and positive.

  8. Wooohooo I'm so excited to see you ! ! !

  9. Thank you so very much Norma. I was actually appalled at my comments being turned into a personal attack. I was just in shock, and had to go back and check my posts to make sure I hadn't been offensive. I figure most people can just build a bridge and get over themselves.

  10. Here's one link I found from Dr. Jossart out of California. He is considered one of the pioneers of the VSG procedure as a stand alone procedure. Within this link, he noted that complications were less, and weight loss results were better with 300+ sleeves performed.

    I'm still looking so you may get a few more links from me.

  11. Trish, it may take me a couple of days to compile the links for you on the 300 number showing that statistically the complications decrease and technique is optimal with that many of sleeves. It's kind of one of those stats, and a rule of thumb that Practice makes perfect if that makes sense.

  12. Hey there, someone on the forum is asking for research articles on the 300 benchmark for sleeve surgeons needing to be considered highly experienced, and about their technique. I lost most of my bookmarks when my old laptop died, so I need your help ! ! !

  13. Thank you bunches for the sweet picture compliments.
