thanks everyone for the feedback. i will be having the bypass Oct. 5th. really excited!!!!!!

I am going to go with the bypass. I actually received a letter from my insurance today approving the bypass so now I'm just waiting for my date. Thanks for all the feedback everyone it is appreciated

I'm 26. I wieghed 585 at my heaviest. The only Co morbidity I have is sleep apnea. I now am doing a pre op diet and have lost 20 pounds in a couple weeks and I'm trying to get down close to 500 or a little under before surgery as recommend by the surgeon. I have completed all my other pre op requirements. The surgeon recommend the bypass because he says I'll lose a larger percentage of my excess wieght. I was leaning more towards the sleeve. Is there that big of difference? Anyone close to my size that has had success with the bypass or with the sleeve? I trying to make my decision soon so I can schedule my date. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

In week 9 everyone brought in and compared Proteins. I am using whey tech 24 by body tech and protizyme they ate both available from Vitamin Shoppe and both taste very good (protizyme has flavors like Peanut Butter cookie, chocolate cake) and as for the nutrition facts they are in the dame parameters as ptemier.(actually they are a little better) I like powder because it taste better and u get bigger quantities and it helps the cost per serving which is important since we are using 2 a day.

Yea I'm on the same diet what week are u in? What Protein are u using? I got sick of premier nutrition I've got several diff powders I'm trying out. -Matt

Yea I'm in track 67 on wed nights off Chapman and lewis. Two of my friends went through leport and had good experiences. Have you met Dr Nanda? Just was wondering if you were doing his diet because a lot of people in my class are.

I'm in week 9 of the 12 week program. Started week one at 554 lbs now down to 527. My goal is to be under 500 befor at the 12th week. I was wondering is anyone has had the surgury thru leport in fountain valley. That's where I'm headed and wanted to see what anyone on here had to say. Also was wondering if the was anyone on here that was 500+ lbs and where are they today. The feedback will be appreciated.
