Anybody out there just beginning their journey?

PattyGee, what's the name of the book? I am very interested in reading it also. : )

The book is called "The BIG Book on the GASTRIC SLEEVE" by Alex Brecher (there is a link on here....it's available at Amazon in a download or hard copy (I'd recommend the download if you have a reader as the book is huge and a bit conspicuous LOL.....I'm rather private about the sleeve) Good luck to you all and again, welcome!

PS there was also a thread yesterday with a bunch of books people recommended....you may want to look for it.

Unfornately, I cannot do much exercise due to the arthritis in my knees.

I just saw your note.....I am missing 1/2 my meniscus in my knees and have arthritis...and found Water fit classes at the gym--they work very well for me....if this is an option, you may want to try it...HTH!

I have two more 3 more dr. visits. I should be having my surgery the first or second week in Oct. It feels so close yet so far away.

I'm in the same boat :-) I live in Sweden and they do it a little different here, so it's pretty frustrating trying to compare notes. I have my first info meeting Aug 21st. I will meet the Nut, Surgeon and whoever else, then at the same meeting have a one on one with the surgeon and Nut. Then by the powers that be, I should get my surgery date by the end of the meeting.

I am pushing for the sleeve as my primary dr said they cover them now, so if the surgeon agrees it's right for me that's what it shall be,( otherwise I may have RNY. ) Either way I am so ready! Hopefully, I will have sleeve surgery in Sept/Oct and will be cool to have company on the journey with you all :-)
