Thank you Dave for all the info. And congrats to you :-)

You might like to try www.realself.com, they have a TON of advice and procedures, and you can sort by surgeon, location, surgery type, price, etc. Some before and after pics too, and a huge section of questions answered by each surgeon.

Hey Everyone,

TGIF tomorrow. I can't wait. 1 more day of work, then off for 4. I feel like that is all I have done lately, be off from work. It has been much needed though. I love my job, but sometimes, it gets to be a bit much to deal with. Wish me luck this weekend. My boyfriend is wanting to get a puppy. I think he is crazy. He was supposed to get the dog tonight, but it will now be tomorrow or Saturday. I keep hoping that he will change his mind. I just don't think he knows what he is in for, plus I fear I am going to end up with it at my house(we don't live together). It isn't that I don't like dogs, I love them, especially if they live with someone else. Oh well, he has his heart set on it. God help me. Not much else going on around my world. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow.

Hello- I am in the begining phase of the process, just looking into the process. Any information you could share with what you had to do to get approved for surgery, would be great. I am looking into the gastric sleeve. I have an appointment with my civilian doctor on 8-24. Not sure how to get a referal to the naval hospital. I am triwest Prime.

Good afternoon everyone! 

I am just floating on cloud 9 since I got my surgery date.  I am muddling through - just want to get past my birthday (ugh!)  

Today I hit another one of my scale goals, lost 25 lbs pre op!!

Had an interesting conversation with a nurse where I work.  Apparently I cant be losing weight or growing my hair out without it having to do with some man here at work.  Oh GEEZ REALLY?!?!?!?

As I politely in my smartass way said - I dont go fishing in cesspools.

Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday and a FANTABULOUS Friday!
