I was self pay and my total bill was 17,600

Anyone get a bad illness prior to surgery? Was your surgery delayed due to it? I now have pneumonia, on antibiotics for seven days. Surgery date is may 28. Should no be concerned? Please give me input. Thanks so much. Of course I tried calling my surgeon, but this all just happened late yesterday and the office was already closed:(

So my surgery is set for may 28th, and today a chest x-ray revealed i have pneumonia. Awesome. On a strong antibiotic. Should I be concerned that may surgery will now be delayed? I am freaking out.

Just curious if any sleevers out there wish they had gone with the RNY instead? Purely out of curiosity, not at ALL implying negativity.

Hello from SC! I have a surgery date of May 28th...although I still cannot decide WHICH surgery to have. My first choice was the sleeve, but after my psych consult last week, I am beginning to second guess that decision. The psychiatrist I saw claims that 90 percent of her post-op patients are disappointed in their weightloss and the rate at which they are losing. Since there are no long-term studies on the sleeve, I am curious as to what you all have experienced with the sleeve decision. How has your weight loss been? Slow? Any regrets/wish you had the RNY instead?

So I am all set for surgery. I'm self-pay and have set a date. My doctor has ruled out the band for me, and now I can't decide between the sleeve our the bypass. He says it can be a game day decision, but I want to start the decision process now. Any thoughts/ suggestions?
