Which "North Bay" are you in - there are probably a hundred north bays around the US, and many more around the world. This is much the same as other regional references such as "tri-states area" which is only meaningful to locals of the half dozen tri-states areas in the country.

I often vomit up fries, pasta, bread, and meat. But everyone's pouch is different. So to avoid the 'exposure' to my surgery and vomiting, I often stick to soup and salad. No one in my life knows except for my husband.

I am currently living in North Bay, and my GP will not approve me for weight loss surgery. He will not even consider it.
Anyone from North Bay either know of a doctor willing to consider bariatric surgery?
I meet the criteria for it.
Thanks in advance ??
Any weight loss surgery will disqualify you from military service.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I want to enlist in the marine court, I have a gastric sleeve. I?m curious to know, were you able to enlist with USMC?
Yes it?s VERY expensive compared to tried and true ( and permanently effective) liposuction.
The question is do I want to wait till April essentially to get real lipo done ? I can?t wear compression garments around my parents in Florida where I?m expected to swim every other day!
Yikes ! It?s a big decision I need to make by Monday morning .
I would say it?s triple the expense for uncertain results . Certainly not fifteen lbs or even ten lbs of fat removal ? maybe two lbs max for triple the price of lipo and in just a couple of small areas. 
A lot depends on where you are when dining out.
In the beginning, I would just get an appetizer and passing it off as not being to hungry. It would be simple things such as soup, shrimp, etc.
Father along in the program, I would get from kid's meals (if it's a healthy choice) or from the seniors menu. Most standard there includes broiled fish, turkey, etc. Ask for substitutions potatoes for another vegetable, no sauce or gravy, etc. I've been known to ask for a box right away. Half for the meal and rest for the next day.
Most people don't really don't care. They're there for a good meal and companionship. If they do question, tell them you're working on a healthy lifestyle and trying to improve your eating habits.

I'd be very interested in your results. My Botox lady does it, but it's very spendy, so I was a bit reluctant.
Maybe you could post before and Afters?
