Topic: RE: July 2nd - The date is set!
I decided to go with the sleeve because i feel that its the least invasive. I was not thrilled about having the intestines moved around. I also picked the sleeve because one thing i hate is to feel hungry and with the sleeve the hormone Gherlin that the stomach produces that makes your feel hungry is mostly taken out. Also i dont have to worry about Malabsorption. Those are the reasons that made me sure that this was the right surgery for me. Good luck deciding and dont be afraid to ask questions. Also do your research. I googled alot when i was trying to decide what i wanted to do.

It definitely is real and congratulations!
What led you to the Gastric Sleeve, as opposed to the RNY Bypass? I'm still oscillating back and forth on the two.

Topic: July 23rd is my day
I am pretty excited. Was surprised that when I got the call on Monday that I was actually happy to have to call back a doctor's office. Lots to do between now and then. It is also 2 days before my daughter's 12 birthday. What a gift I am giving her..she gets her mom healthier and hopefully longer:)

Awesome! My original date they offered was in late May as well, but it wouldn't work with some scheduled things that couldn't be changed. Sounds like we both got some more time to get those lifestyle changes down before surgery. :)

Awesome! When I first heard the date I was bummed because it felt so long away, but as the days go by it gets closer and closer! :)
