Thanks! Makes me feel a little better. I just have that gut feeling that if I have the bypass Im going to be one with the bad complications.

Hello
I am currently thinking about having the vsg and I am about 446lbs! I want to know if there is anyone that was or know someone. who was over 400lbs and did awesome with the sleeve. My surgeon suggest bypass and that scares the crap out of me!

Hello Everyone!!!
Wow! I never thought that a little question I had would spark so much attention from all different kinds of people who all relate in this way. I am really proud of you all and the inspiration that was not only given to me but also to thousands of hopefuls. Thanks you!
An update on me. I haven't had the surgery as of yet ???? I have had a few "road blocks" with insurance and a illness that took top priority. The illness I had and still can happen again, has to a lot to do with being overweight and my insurance(bcbs) stated they would cover the surgery if it's medically necessary but even with 3 different doctors letters still denied me, twice.
So now with new insurance I found a doctor that will do the surgery and charge the insurance for a hitial hernia and I am waiting for the 1st for the plan to be effective. I hope no challenges will arise but I came this far and I will not give up on myself!
Again, thanks everyone for your encouraging stories and let's continue to FIGHT THE FAT together!!

Thank u.. I have a plan in place as far as food and a trainer. Its hard for me with the trainer because I'm so heavy and I can't go long but once some of the weight comes off I'm ready to go full force!

Wow! Inspiring! and I was told at 446 it would be best for me to go bypass because the sleeve wouldnt do the trick! Keep it up!!

You're dr is not very professional. My PCP hated the fact that I went for the band (many times), but not once did he say I shouldn't do it. Only time he said anything was after the final time it was removed. After, He stated his opinion, but added that he is a health provider and is there to provide care for me in whatever ways I need it. Before I had lapband WLS , I never asked for his opinion therefore he didn't give it.
Unless it's for insurance reasons you don't need your OB/GYN personal approval so .. Don't sweat it. She's never had a problem so she may never care to understand.
