I'd like to introduce myself to the group here. I've been a long time reader of online forums related to weight loss surgeries, as in so long I'm embarassed to admit the number. Speaks to my ability to procrastinate and not decide to move forward with a surgical option. I turned 60 last November and decided it was now or never. I want to move into retirement healthier and able to enjoy that part of my life.
I am SMO - BMI of 56 at the moment. I also have my first appointment this week at the University of Minnesota Weight Loss and Surgery Center where the surgeons are Ikramuddin or Leslie. I am going there as these are surgeons in the area that will perform DS. I don't see either of these doctors on the vetted list, even though at least Ikramuddin was mentored by Buchwald who was on the list prior to retirement. Wish me luck as I start this process and make decisions on my path. I've already have learned so much from reading these forums and look forward to continue to do so.
