Well, now I'm a little nervous - And it's NOT about the surgery.  I went for my cardio clearance today. Easy-peasy. I have some risk factors but i've never had any problems. Uh-oh. During the interview he asked...

saw the surgeon and the decision is made - It's a DS! Had the NUT consult and everything. So glad to get this party started.

Yay! Took my paperwork in today - And now the process starts. They will review my chart and decide if they will take my case. I should receive a call in about 10 days, give or take some.  I still haven't decided...

Nervous--submitting my paperwork tomorrow - I really hope they will look beyond the numbers. I'm a lightweight. For the last 15 years I have fluctuated between about BMI=33 and BMI=38(where I am now.)  Back in 2009 I star...

Really torn between VSG and DS - I am just beginning the WLS process and I've been reading these boards and a ton of literature about WLS.  I'm a lightweight at 227-lbs, BMI=38.5  I have several co-morbities an...

My aching knees! X-post - I have severe psoriatic arthritis in both knees. This has come up rather fast--I've never had trouble with my knees until last fall. Most of my arthritis in my feet and hands, b...

Oh, my knees! - I'm just beginning my WLS journey and I'm worried about getting the walking in. My knees are just about shot. I developed Psoriatic Arthritis about 2 years ago and it has been k...

x-post--DS vs Sleeve--how do you know? -   I am having a hard time with this decision. I'm a lightweight, BMI 38 with multiple comorbidities.  I'm leaning toward the sleeve or the DS mainly because i'm afraid of du...

DS vs Sleeve--don't know what to think? - I am in the research stages of WLS. I'm a lightweight, BMI 38 with multiple co-morbidities. I am drawn to the DS and the sleeve because I worry about dumping with the RNY. On th...

Lightweight, concerned about insurance - I've already checked with my insurance and they do cover WLS. I didn't get into details, so I dont' know exactly what they cover--I plan to call them this week for clarification...

X-post...DS or VGS? BMI 37.9 - Not sure. I want to lose 100-lbs, to fit into my wedding dress. That would put me at BMI 20-21. Doable or am I being unrealistic? Not sure whichwill be best in the long run.

BMI 37.9...unsure if DS or VGS is for me? - I would like to lose 100-lbs., enough to get into my wedding dress. That would bring the BMI to 20-21. Doable with either or am I being unrealistic?and is DS even an option?

going for it--need a surgeon iin N. GA - I live in Marietta so my first inclination is to go local , w/ Dr. Smith or Dr. Jean-Pierre. But then I wonder should I go to Emory? If you chose Smith or JP, how much weight d...

Finally had the discussion with DH - And it went much better than I thought it would. He is totally on board! I am 56yo, BMI 37.6, diabetic,mildly hypertensive, severe sleep apnea(on cpap), mod-severe arthritis on kne...

Hats off to Gov. Christie! Because of him I have finally decided to do...
