Y friend got the gastric bipass surgery and she just told me that the drs tried to steer her away from the sleeve. She also said you don't lose as much weight with the sleeve, and you don't lose it as fast. Is this true? Thanks in advance!

M just beginning the process by going to the informational meeting. It would be nice to find a buddy in Illinois!

M excited but nervous! I go for an informational meeting on wed! The person I talked to said that is the first step. Did anyone else have to do this as well before seeing the dr? I was relieved to find a place that took my insurances. I have Medicare and Medicaid.

Thanks so much everyone who took the time to reply. I really appreciate this so much. I am calling my dr in the morning to get an appointment to discuss this with him.

Hi everyone! I am new here and really could use some support! I am calling my dr tomorrow about getting the gastric sleeve. I have been going back and forth for a few years now, but I think it's time. Can you please tell me why you picked this over lap band or bypass? What is it that made you decide on the sleeve? Thanks so much!
Scared I'm not gonna be approved!

Went to the seminar tonight and it went good! I am scared I will not be approved though! I have a bmi of 35.9. I don't know if that is high enough? I do have asthma, sleep apnea and depression issues!
Does anyone know if you have already been diagnosed with sleep apnea, do you have to do another sleep study? I sure hope not!
