I'm starting my sleeve journey May 30 2016 with my preop diet and surgery is schedule for jun 8 2016 ,I've been overweight the majority of my life and am finally ready to be comfortable in my skin again. I'll be a self pay using bariatricpal in Mexico so everything is moving very quickly for me.

I had learned the differences between the band, the sleeve, and the bypass and opted for the sleeve. I felt the sleeve would be the safest bet for me.

I'm currently at 200 and my goal weight is 110. I'm so ready for this journey! I'll be updating my journal along the way. If you'll be having your surgery in June please let me know so we can support each other!

I'll be sure to post throughout my procedure and will check in with progress .

@@lovemyself Good luck! Glad you researched and came to a decision. I just had the sleeve (revision from band) on 5-25 and feel good. I'm very glad that I took action. Keep in touch.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
