    Hi Eugenia, I'm also a Dr. B. Schrope girl. How are you doing? I am having my final meeting with her on Oct. 26th to pick a Surg. date since I have been approved by insurance. Do you recall how far in advanced you had to wait until you got a surgery date? I felt let down a bit that I have to wait three weeks to get into see her once I was approved, Julie in the office told me to call Gina every Wed. around 10 to see if I could get in on a of a cancellation I just was hoping to get sleeved before Thanksgiving ....Hope to hear from you. Shelly

    Hello Eugenia. I had the Sleeve and I'm very happy I chose it. I started the process to get a LapBand and had never heard of the Sleeve until I went to the seminar where Band, Sleeve and Bypass were explained. I've seen too many people on here (and one family friend) who had the band and for whatever reason, had a revision to the Sleeve. I think your commitment will determine the outcome of the procedure you choose. Our family friend got the band and continued her bad eating habits and had no success, so had a revision. I don't know how she's doing at this point, though.
    Good luck with your decision!
  12. Hello Friends...
    I have surgery date set for 10/4 and still deciding which surgery is the right one for me... LapBand v Sleeve
    Joined this group to see how you all feel about the decision to choose Sleeve, the direction I am definitely leaning towards... appreciate your input and opinions!

For the Pre Op nervousness... I'm 6 months post op... down 68lbs / 30% of my original body weight

by eugenia on 04-23-2012 at 08:22 PM
This is my reply to a member who is just a few days pre op and nervous about a few things, normal things we all feel pre op... it's scary! We don't know what's ahead, what's on the other side... here's my feelings on the whole thing, 6 months post op:

The skin, yeah, could be firmer, but I'm 50 years old, and it's not as elastic as it was when I was younger. My thighs and arms could be tighter, and if I didn't have shoulder issues, i would be weight training a bit heavier, but it's

Calories IN and Calories OUT, the logic of the Stall.... and training in the Zone tips!

by eugenia on 10-17-2011 at 03:02 PM
There's lots of talk about stalls on the site.
Right now, I'm too 'new' to have experienced that, but as I approach week 2, I feel it's inevitable...
Honestly, I haven't been 'walking' every day, not purposeful anyway.
Yes, my husband and I took the dog out twice this weekend and went for a nice long walk both days, but since I'm still recovering, it really wasn't a 'burn' walk, it was just movement... it was nice, it felt good, but certainly wouldn't change my phyisology...
