Welcome! I totally understand the lurking. I did it for a month, but becoming involved on the forum is so much more beneficial. Good luck on your journey!

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to bring this thread up to date. I started it last August when I was researching my WLS options. What I didn't know at the time was that my insurance wouldn't pay for sleeve surgery at the hospital most convenient to me. I ended up having lap band surgery instead. It was my second choice, (I would have preferred the sleeve), but I did the best I could, and I made the most of it. Things have gone great for me, I've had no problems, and in the six months since my surgery I've lost 91 pounds. I'm much closer to my goal than I expected I would be.

Thanks again for all the well wishes. You folks are still the best.

Good luck with your journey!

Dave

WOW! I wondered what ever happened after your insurance wouldn't pay. That is GREAT that you are doing so well!!! Congrats on losing 91lbs in 6 months, that totally rocks! And it's also great that you haven't had any problems...sounds like everything worked out well. Nice to hear an update.
