I will be gone for a week - starting tomorrow!!  Going on a much needed vacation with my man.  We are getting on the motorcycle and heading to South Dakota, no set plans, no reservations, just going!  So looking forward to this.  Have never been there and excited to see all the sites.

I will check back in when we return - everyone stay safe, walk, run, drink your liquids and work those tools!!!

I received a call from the Insurance Person  at my Bariatric Clinic today to let me know that the only thing she is missing from being able to submit to my insurance company is the report from my Psy. Eval. she asked me if I have a copy and I let her know that I do, so, she asked me to fax her the copy tomorrow and she will send everything off to the insurance company tomorrow and if all goes well and they approve me I could be looking at a surgery date late July!!!! I thought I needed 6 months Nut. Counseling but she said I only need 3 months and I just had my 3 month visit 6/9! Praying all goes well I really would like to do this in July instead of October!

Howdy Darla!
 I agree that the board is at a very slow crawl. I kind of glance in at least once a week and keep on going, because there is nothing new going on. I find myself checking into face-book more because it is fast, it to is slowing down now with nicer weather.

I always need and give support. I go to 2 support group each month and we have a small coffee group that gets together once a month to hash things out.  I participate in 5K's, 10K's and any other activity I can get into.

Gearing up for a WLS retreat come Oct in Northern MN, I think it will be a boot camp theme and get into some nitty gritty things.

My scale is up 10 pounds from my extreme lowest, and I would be OK with that IF I wasn't trying so hard to make sure I fit into my wedding dress come July, oh yeah I am getting married- that takes up a lot of my on line time too! Lets add stress to that plate of crapola LOL

Keep posting, I will respond!

I'd rec. that she wait the year-seems to be the standard for the 2nd part. :)

Oh and glad you're doing well-the sleeve was my 2nd choice!

I'm not looking for a revision but I know someone who is. She's in ND and aparently there's no on in the whole state who does the VSG to DS revision. I've recommended she contact Dr. Buchwald - he only does open and she'd rather do lap - and Dr. IK - he requires a 1 year wait between VSG and DS. Any other ideas I can pass on to her?

I'm loving my sleeve. I don't think I've ever felt better. I'm 60 and on top of the world right now.
