Obsessed
I am right there and have been since I started the process back in April. Now that I am so close to surgery I am finding myself more and more obsessed each day.
Good luck on your journey. I hope to see you on the losing side!
Good luck with everything, my prayers will be with you. I live in Lawrenceville, also. Let me know when you have your surgery and where. Who is your doctor? Which surgery are you having?

It's not that I totally do not believe in the lapband because I have friends on both sides. However, I am finding more that are having issues. I do know many that have a realize band that are doing quite well. I am more than happy with my decision.

I did an enourmous amount of research and changed my mind from the band, to the sleeve to the DS because of all of my research. I don't know your situation, but make sure you read up thoroughly on ALL the WLS options before you make a final decision. There is a lot of misinformation out there about DS but if you read the "facts", you will find that it is a very impressive option and the surgery that offers the most excess weight lost and best chance of keeping it off, not to mention very high cure rate for diabetes and you don't have to have a super high BMI to get it contrary to popular belief.

Hello Friend,
I see that you are getting really excited about your chances of having WLS, I know that this is a long process and your new insurance will be starting. I hope that everything goes well for you.
I know that you would like things to go fast, but please check out all of you WLS opts, for there are many types of surgery out there. Make sure that you choose the one that is going to be right for you.
I had the RNY 3.5 years ago and I have used it well. I have lost over 285 pounds total since the start of my journey and I have maintained it too. So please do your research.
