Hello,

My name is Tracy and I am new to this site. There seems to be a lot of helpful information and caring people on here. I was going to get the Lap Band at first, as I was with another clinic and they upsold it. I found out they had an F from the BBB. I found Dr Welle and read more about him and his practice, I was impressed. I found out about the Sleeve from them, and went to talk with him yesterday and it seems like such a better choice for me (both the sleeve and his practice).

I am excited to start this new journey and since I am self-pay (my Cigna plan has no bariatric coverage), I will not have to wait long. About 2-3 weeks until surgery, depending on how fast I can get pre-op testing done.

I look forward to talking with you all and looking at the information on this site.

Good luck Tracy, we will probably be about the same time. I get my sleeve on 14 August in Brisbane Australia and start pre op Optifast diet today. I am very happy i chose to have a sleeve over a bad. Just too many negatves with a band for my liking. This is a great site as we are all going through the same thing. Keep us posted on your progress.
