    Cheers Kevin. I did a super sprint tri once before 7 years ago when I was somewhat overweight (about 30lb over - one of my lowish points in a decade of yo yo weight loss/gain). I don't think I'll ever aim for the Olympic distance, but I'd like to do sprint distance next year - and repeat the event I just did to see how much I can improve my times in a year. It was great not to feel self-conscious in a wetsuit - I did find the tri suit a bit challenging, but I can't say I've seen anyone who looks particularly great in one. Good luck with your journey!

Approved !!

by TheNewKevin on 09-13-2013 at 10:02 AM
This is pretty wild, I just got the call that I was approved. Asked by who, the hospital? as yesterday I heard the hospital had not yet approved my case. That was mis-information, insurance has approved me and the hospital offered me dates starting 9/19! I told them I'd call back Monday to get a later date.

You guys are the only ones that know I even applied. Guess its time to tell my wife ... maybe.

Time to follow the rules ...

by TheNewKevin on 08-28-2013 at 12:23 PM
Since I'm hopefully getting close to scheduling a surgery (clinic is confirming insurance), time to follow the rules from the psychologist. The final rule was "Do not use alcohol, tobacco, and street drugs for at least 6 months prior to and after surgery."

I'm guessing my psychologist isn't a fan of Meat Loaf's theory "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad"

Alcohol

by TheNewKevin on 08-08-2013 at 08:44 AM
Hi everyone –

I did a lot of my pre-op clearance stuff yesterday. The one thing that threw me was the nut saying that I would be at the legal limit for alcohol with one drink post-op. The alcohol would enter the blood stream faster; and the BAC fall faster than before. I’m not a biology guy, but the math doesn’t add up for me. It seems that the absorption would be proportional to the size of the stomach soaking things up; and, the recovery would be related to the amount of alcohol

How's your head?

by TheNewKevin on 07-25-2013 at 05:42 AM
And it's been a while
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been a while
Since I could say I loved myself as well

Staind / It's Been Awhile
How’s your head after the sleeve (short term and long term struggles)? I know a lot of surgeons require a psych evaluation. What do they want to hear or not hear? Do they have a reason for their concern? Has anyone found it difficult to discontinue being compulsive (e.g., must finish
