New surgery Date Dec 15th

Nov 04, 2010

Yes its a long story but I never got my surgery on Aug 25.... But I will be getting it on Dec 15, 2010... I have decided on getting the gastric sleeve instead of the lapband.  I made this decision because you get better results with the gastric sleeve than with the lapband. Because the sleeve is a fairly new procedure....most insurances dont cover it.... But the office manager at the dr's office said she would try her best to get it approved...   If its not approved I will go with the lapband.... but I still would like to do the sleeve more than the lapband.  I read alot on the sleeve and they are saying that the sleeve is comparable to gastric bypass but without the malabsorption issues... So I am very excited....Youtube is also a great tool to do your research.... The next time I make a post... I will be on the losers bench...Yaaaay!!!!!! Wish me luck people!!! Dont forget to say a prayer for me.....
