Nikski 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Hi All, I am another newbie sleeved 6 days ago on September 21st. I only found the site yesterday and it looks like a great place to share experiences, get advice, support and encouragement. I must say it has been a really positive post surgery experience for me so far....hope it continues. :mad: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dory 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Hi Nikski, another Qlder here. Congrats on making the step to a new life and a new you! I've only just started looking into the Gastric Sleeve, but for some reason feel more positive about it then the Band. If you don't mind me asking, who was your surgeon? And what were your out of pocket expenses? Any thoughts, advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. If you would prefer not to answer that's ok too. I'm very new to all this (forums, gastric sleeve etc..), so am hoping I haven't broken any "rules" by asking this in your thread. Apologies if I have. Thanks and congratulations again! I'm actually in awe of all of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
