Good morning all,I have my date May 24th ,but I'm not going to be sleeved ;( ill have the bypass instead, I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday to ask why I was approved for the bypass and not the sleeve ,which I had requested,he said it was because my esophagus lining was damage because of the acid reflux, and the sleeve would just make the reflux worse,also it would damage my esophagus even farther.i asked about the down time,the dumping,the malabsorption ,and was quite surprised that there really isn't any different except for the rerouting of the stomach,and the amount of weight you lose.so with that I have a date May 24th and per op is may 16th ,start per op diet May 17th only one week of liquids then surgery. I'm sad that I can't have the sleeve but I'm excited that I will be able to get this weight off I know I'm not a sleever,but I would like to continue on this forum, is that possible? In my heart I'm a sleever !!!!
