I know how you feel I am utterly bummed I can't, or should I say, shouldn't have the sleeve. I have been doing research on the sleeve for a year blindly ignoring the fact that I have pretty severe gerd. I would be setting myself up for a very hard recovery and even harder life post op if I continue to lie to myself and my doctor about my reflux. After reading these threads, I have chosen to take the correct path and choosing what will be successful not what I want. I want the sleeve... Cheaper! More popular! However.....I NEED the RNY. I feel sad, now I'm moving from all the sleeve forums, and the sleeve FB groups and the sleeve thus and that, to joining the RNY pre-op family. Feels scary but in the long run, I do not want to harm myself or my success by making a dumb decision for something I want instead of what will be safer for me in the long run. (I am a self paid patient who will be going to mexico)

I'm having mine the end of July! I am close to Fort Wayne in Huntington )

Because of this post, I decided to research Dr. Zavalza. The whole entire team is Amazing! So after years of trying to decide on the right one I set my date with him and I am super confident I made the right choice!
