Well I met with my surgeon and nutritionist yesterday. I've gotta do 3 months of visits and surgery will be in September. I done a lot of research and went to the visit with the intent of going with the RNY, but after discussing with my Dr, we agreed on the sleeve. Next appt is the 6/14 and Psych Evaluation on 6/16.

That's great, what made you decide to do the sleeve instead?

@@fytn4mine I had my NUT appointment today (#2) and found out I don't have to do the 6 months of supervised weight loss like I was originally told by BCBS. I am looking at September too - can't wait!

@@Michilingi i smoke and he told me that if I got the RNY, I would develop ulcers. I quit smoking 2 years ago but started back again in Dec. I could quit again, but who knows if I'd start again. To be on the safe side, I'm going with the sleeve. @@KristenLe that's great!! We should definitely keep in touch!

I'm hoping that I will be having my surgery around the same time, since I only have to do 2 nutrit ion appointments... I'll keep you all posted to my date!

I'm at the point where I've cleared the psych eval, I have probably one more dietician appointment. I've lost like 30 lbs since I switched my diet to the bariatric style one. I'm hoping to have surgery in July
