Hi John!  I am curious why you decided to have the sleeve instead of the gastric bypass? My orthopedic surgeon recommended I get the lap band. I have been doing some research and I decided to look into getting gastric bypass instead. I did not like the complications of the lap band procedure ( monthly fills, slippage, erosion, etc.). I would appreciate your input. I have my first visit with my surgeon this month. Thanks!

Was going to have my surgery in 2010 but I had other health issues To take care of first. I had to have a spinal cord stimulator implanted for the pain in My arm caused by RSD/CRPS.

Got back into the program At Boston Medical Center in 2012 and I am scheduled to have surgery on April 15, 2013. I changed my mind about having gastric bypass to having the sleeve gastrectamy.

Still have Dr. Hess because Hess is the best!!

I have lost a total of 44 pounds or so since I was on this forum last.

Now I am 226 pounds. I started off at 296 lbs back in 2009, I've lost 70 pounds total since I started the program.

I do feel that I do need the surgery still, it will help me prevent future health issues that could arise mostly hereditary. I came off of Metformin two months ago, and I hope to come off of the high blood pressure medicine Lisinopril.
I'll be back more often to keep everybody updated

Yes, looks like they dont require the 6months diet as BMC requires!
If NHP approves me, my surgery will be on march 21, the whole process will take less than 2months!
