I guess the insurance person sent it in wrong to my insurance. She was under the impression that a person with my high BMI 59 had the sleeve done because of the risk. Thats how it all got started. So when he came in the room he was confused as to why I wanted bypass. He told me very good info on why I needed to have the sleeve done and i agreed. I was just prepared for bypass and knew all about it. I guess I'm just a little shell shocked with the last minute switch. He told me less risk, more likely to not be open, basically the same results as the band with no anatomy being rearranged. Like I said, not regretting it by any means just sunk in when I got home. LOL

I went for my last Dr. appointment today before my gastric bypass on MONDAY and low and behold he advised me to have the sleeve instead. After explaining that there are lower risks and similar benefits I agreed. Now I'm panicing a little because I am having it in two days! Just could use some support is all! Thanks
