Hello All

I have recently come to the conclusion that I need to do something drastic to loose the wieght I have been loosing and regaining (more) all my life. I have done calorie counting, Portion Control, nutrasystem, metabolic research, jillian michaels biggest looser etc. Some work and I am able to loose some wieght but it always comes back with more. Right now I am at my heaviest 335lbs.

I have been researching bariatric surgery and have decided the sleeve is right for me. I do not like the idea of re-routing my guts with the long term implications that brings. I also don't like the idea of having a appliance in my body that can cause problems in the future. I really like the safety and efficacy of the sleeve.

I am lucky in that my insurance will pay for certain bariatric surgeries as long as it is done at the internationally renowned "Clinic" that I also work for. But it is not all good. See my post under insurance issues on that.

All in all I am happy to find this board and look forward to learning more from everyone here.

Thanks

My son's dog has his name. It means "bad ass" in Spanish.

The waiter at the Mexican restaurant named him. We call him Dito. He is a chiwauwa (sp?)

Welcome again!

My wife is a Filipina and I got the nickname from a Fil-Am forum a long time ago. I was having a spirited disagreement with another poster and he called me "maldito" My wife says it means stubborn, naughty, rude, crude, jerk, and sometimes bad ass. I liked the sound of it even though I don't consider myself any type ob BA, however I can sometimes be the rest of it :thumbup:
