poginut 112 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Thanks! Sleeve! I originally wanted to do lap band! But did not want the hassle of filling or refilling or worry about slippage or having a foreign object in my body. Edited August 21, 2014 by poginut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BryBro63 410 Posted August 21, 2014 That was my exact same path, and I changed my mind and got the sleeve for the exact same reason!! I just hit my goal weight this week, and I have absolutely no regrets!!! I wish you the best, and hoping for great success!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katcloudshepherd 630 Posted August 21, 2014 poginut, congratulations! I almost had lap band several years ago, I went through the whole process and got to the point of actually setting a date for the surgery. I changed my mind and I'm SO GLAD I got the sleeve. I'd do it again in a heart beat. Good luck with your surgery, Hope you have an easy recovery, Kathleen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jolisue 112 Posted August 23, 2014 Congrats! My date is 9/22. My sister had a gastric sleeve 8 months ago and has met her goal weight! She is running, standup paddle boarding and living her life. Since I have so closely watched her journey I know what to expect. Have you been approved by your insurance yet? I'm waiting to hear. Right now it's all the doc appointments. Tonight I'm having a sleep study that I am anxious about. I'm nervous about insurance too. Feeling very hopeful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigdaddy84 12 Posted August 23, 2014 How do you know what your weight should be , I am 6'0 and I weighed 284 , so should I say bout 200 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jolisue 112 Posted August 23, 2014 How do you know what your weight should be , I am 6'0 and I weighed 284 , so should I say bout 200 ? My doctor told me I should be at 149 according to the Metropolitan Insurance tables. If I want my healthy BMI tone at 24 or 25, I need to weigh 167.5. I know I'm happiest T 170. I currently weigh 262. Just google your height and it will tell your healthy weight range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
