One Step Closer

@ missdani2u, we need to stay in touch...hit me up!

Congrats Cajun lady! Sending positive vibes your way. I will be sending my info to insurance soon for a sleeve.

@ Thicklin, thank you I'm excited to get this journey moving.

@ missdani2u, I can use all the positive vibes you can send my way.

Thanks to both of you for the encouraging words.  Please stay in touch.  I'll make sure to keep you ladies updated on my progress.

Not to hijack this thread but ladies best wishes for you all on getting sleeved.  I think its the best of all worlds.  Restriction, no foreign devices, no rearranging the intestines. 

I selected my surgeon for the sleeve.  He was willing to do it but he did not agree it was the best option for me personally.  I needed malabsorption for my situation.  He did not hard sell the rny and he knew I would not go for the ds at all.  Less than a week before my procedure I relented and went rny.  

I still wish I could have had the sleeve.  Rny turned out well but you can never get the plumbing back to where it was.  In the end most of us just need a smaller tummy for a smaller tummy, lol.  

Feel free to hijack any time! :D I agree with it being the best of all worlds. 

Happy veteran sleever here !!!  

Oh man!!! It's so good to see a veteran VSGer on here!  Thanks for posting.  BTW Dr. Alverez did my lapband surgery and he was amazing! I truly would recommend him to anyone considering going outside of US to get their procedure done.
