Congratulations!  The DS forum is indeed amazing! I am thrilled to see you were willing to put the breaks on a surgery that wasn't right for you.  Wishing you the best of luck on your journey.

Welcome, Julie!! I'm 10 months post op and loving life. I have monthly pics on my profile you can check out if you'd like. I LOVED looking at others progress pics as a pre op. Your story is very inspiring. 18 years has led you to what is in my OPINION the best WLS out there. Good luck and keep us updated!!!

Hello, and welcome!  I did something similar... came here dead set on the RNY, only to find out about this "DS" everyone kept talking about. :p  So glad I did!

Sounds like you may not be too far from getting a date set.  Fingers crossed for ya!

 Hi Julie! 
Welcome. I was a lurker here for quite awhile, and after learning about the DS I went for it. I had the sleeve a year prior to the DS, and I wish I had known enough to have the whole thing done at once. Good girl for doing your research! I look forward to reading about your weight loss success!!
