Herbie55
March 30th. I knew I had regained the 35 pounds I had lost last year, but did not know about the extra 20 that came with them. Wow! It took 10 months to loose those 35 and now I'm set back 55! I had thought about weight loss surgery for some time and finally I called my sister who has a lap band and asked her alot of questions then started doing my research. I chose the sleeve because I didn't like the idea of having to worry about fills and slipage and I surely didn't like what I was hearing about bypass as far as malabsorbsion. I am also not the best when it comes to remembering to take pills. So, my first step was to check my insurance policy which had an exclusion for any reason on weight loss ANYTHING. That only left the option of self pay. I went to the bank and consolidated a few bills with enough left over to pay for surgery. Thank God for home equity loans! Now, to decide which surgeon....
