Super Duper Excited!!!

Kerri it is a small world. and Vinton is a small town. I might just know him lol. Tununi I will be glad to be friends with you and help you thru this journey. I will need the same support from you. We can help each other and others too. I am 35 and a college student. I have two children who are 3 and 12.  This has been a long journey. I feel personally that the VGS is the best route for me. I was  interested in the band at one time but now I feel that the sleeve will be better for me becauase I have so much weight to loose. Some one dear to me has the lap band but he has stalled at loseing 100 pounds because he does not follow up with his dr to have the fills.  he eats what he wants without restriction. He needs to loose at least another 100 pounds. He is alot better than he was. I hope that we can confide in each other and praise each other on our goals.  I look forward to it

Hi Countrygirl it's good to hear from you.I have been doing research on the Sleeve and also think that it's best for me. I to have a great deal of weight to loose as well and think the band is not the right choice.I see that with the sleeve the stomach stays in tack and no bypass is required.You also dont have to worry about dumping syndrome and vitamin deficiencies either.Which is wonderful that's what was scaring me the most.I meet with my PCP at 1:15 on tomorrow to decides the next step in moving toward my weight lose goal.I don't have to worry about him referring me since he was the one suggested i look into having it done.I'll keep u posted on what's going on okay.TTYL.

Oh, and did u find out if u knew Kerri's brother or not.She sounds really sweet.I pray all goes well for me and my new OH family.Always in my prayers
Cleta.

Kerri I hope that we can be friends too.  We all need all the help we can get. I have heard of dr chung. I am trying to get my boyfriend to go there and have the same surgery we are having. His insuraance doesnt cover it but I am going to appeal and see if we can get something done.
