I actually started to cry tears of shock, joy, and relief when I heard those words today. Best news ever!! It's been a long wait since the process started in March - nine months!! Every night I read through the posts on here.. Cannot tell you all how grateful I am for this wonderful community of people! Could wait to share the news with you!! I'm hoping for a January surgery date!

Congratulations!!! I am in the very beginning stages here.. I went to the doctor on Tuesday because I threw by back out and brought up the subject of getting the gastric sleeve. She suggested I get lap-band - but I'm pretty positive this is what I want. I have my 1st meeting 01/06/2015. I can't wait to start on this new journey. Again, congrats to you!!

Hopefully your doc will give you plenty of info about the variety of options. It seems like lots of people are getting their lap bands converted to sleeves. Do your research! ????

This site/app is an amazing resource! And the people are wonderful and supportive!

I got "the phone call" today I am approved!! Next week they will call me to schedule my surgery date. I am so happy for this forum because I can express what I am feeling and people understand. I only have my husband and my daughter's supporting and they mean everything to me. I told one friend and she said I was taking the easy way out. So now I don't tell anybody I don't want to hear anything negative, I want to keep positive.
