    dfwtxfemme got a reaction from Laverne1908 in Sleeve Vs Bypass   
    I realize this is a personal decision, I honestly do not know what route to go... I think BP better long term results, but it seems so drastic and I really worry about dumping syndrome and complications as well as my ability to really follow better eating habits.... I think having negative consequences of dumping might help with that, but wonder if I would decide to live with the pain just to satisfy my craving...... the sleeve seems like a more natural way to continue with life..... my doctor at first thought sleeve but the more we talk think the bypass offer me a little bit of extra help.... people use to die from this procedure and I realize that's not the case now but it scares the crap out of me... I know I want surgery I just don't know which 1 to choose... they're successes and failures with each I know it is my own choices.... socially I'd like to be able to drink a beer on occasion if I want to you know, I don't want to be on a date order something and take two bites eat like a bird either, but normal kids size person would be good I just don't know what to expect.... I have a friend who had bypass and she's great results but would have done sleeve but insurance would not pay for that, her mom had it also it is have the dumping effects but not as great results.... very stressful choice and it's a lot of money either way I go.....thx for thoughts between two surgeries

    I want to have surgery around Christmas when I'm already off of work.... but I have been to 4 surgeons and not found the right fit yet. I have 3 more consults scheduled for this next week. I want somebody who is going to teach me everything and give me a comprehensive program before and after, and I don't feel like any of them are offering that they're offering at best a 1 hour nutrition class. I ask them about the different classes of people with insurance take and they dismiss my question it's frustrating. maybe 1 of these this next week will be the 1, if not have no clue. I really do need to find something that I can tolerate in the terms of this Protein stuff..... I don't like the smell taste or texture of any of it... I think the ones I like are not whey based...sigh

    R u familiar with lean active 7... it has 7 types of Protein I'm not sure what all 7 types r, i know whey and egg... it's interesting it seems people go to the insurance they have to go through all these classes and get nutrition dietitian info and for the cash patient the doctors just tend to skip that stuff and just take your money and give your surgery... a little frustrating I want to go to all the classes I can so I'm successful
