Doh, I just read your profile, which really explains it. broken heart  He spent an HOUR talking with me yesterday, which was really cool. He could've just said no, gave a quick explanation why he thought the sleeve was a better choice for me, and left.

Dr. Teel was awesome, I liked how brutally honest he was with me. He forcefully turned me away from the DS though, and really, REALLY recommended the sleeve for me. I thought for sure I was a good DS candidate. What was it that made him want to perform it for you? Did you have pretty bad diabetes?

Doing good.  Still regaining the stamina I lost with the surgery.  I'm not used to that.  Now,  15 minutes at the gym and I'm exhausted.  Once around the mall and I'm done!  Still a little pain on the right side, but I'm not complaining yet! :)  I hope your appointment went well today.  Hope Dr. Teel answered all your questions.

Hoops since July?  It took me 4 months from my initial appt to surgery.  I hope things start speeding up for you!  Good luck!

Brimfield here and I am a Summa Dr. Z. post-op heading into my fifth year. I strongly encourage you to attend the Summa support groups. I love Dr. Perkins staying on track group. Laura's larger group is just a great folks that are very supportive. I will also put a plug into the other non-Summa groups. Moving Forward is a Meetup.com group that is a social group for post-ops. I coordinate a cycling group (Spin-off Cyclists) and participate in the Akron Area Hiking and My First 5K groups coordinated by Chuck, another Summa post-op. We are fortunate to have a good amount of support in the Akron area for WLS.

Excellent! How are you doing/feeling so far? I have a whole heap o' random questions that I haven't been able to find answers to online, so hopefully he will bear with me. I'm really anxious to have my surgery - have been going through the hoops since July.

2013:  20 Funny New Year's Resolutions

When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year.  Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!

1.  I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!

2.  I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!

3.  I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.

4.  I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day.  Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.

5.  I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

All my best,

Dr. Teel is awesome!  Just had my 2wk follow up with him this morning.  Ask questions!!!  He'll answer as many as  you have the best that he can.  He's honest and frank about it, just wants to make sure that you are prepared for it!  Bring a list of anything you've thought about, any concerns, etc.  Good luck!!!
