Steph6981 reacted to anniebanana in Sleeve vs. Bypass
Same here! The hospital's support group that I am a part of is very pro-bypass, so that doesn't help! I had an ER doctor a couple of years ago tell me that if I'd had bypass surgery, he would not be able to treat me. I'm not sure how the topic even came up, but that really freaked me out! What happens if you have an emergency and the facility you are taken to does not have a bariatric surgeon?

Well 16 days away from one of the greatest decisions i've ever made for myself. Maybe it's just me but I can't wait to be able to wear the size 16 pants in the closet thats been hanging up for the past 2 years and know that won't be the smallest i'll get!

Steph6981 got a reaction from alicia54 in Sleeping 45 degree, for 4-6 weeks!?!
I'm just starting my journey. Actually it started yesturday at my consult. But i can see why at a 45° angle after surgery but dang that would be hard for me cuz not only do i sleep on my side but also am a stomach sleeper. I can lay on my back but 45° angle would still be difficult for me cuz no adjustable bed. I guess I'll have to figure how i'm gonna sleep once i get surgery. I hope you are able to get some good sleep. Just seems impossible to sleep in that degree in a bed. Take care hun. Let me know how it works for u and any tips on how to get comfortable before falling asleep.

Steph6981 got a reaction from shugarhey in The pit in my stomach is coming back! :-/
Hi shugarhey! I just had my first consult appointment yesturday and the surgeon suggested the best surgery for me is the sleeve gastrectomy. I was hoping gastric bypass, due to family i know who have had great success with weight loss after having bypass surgery. Im a bit concerned because this is permanent and with the other surgeries like the bypass can be reversed. It was a better choice cuz of my history of smoking. But i have quit that again and am on day 4 today. Just seems unfair for me to have that type of weight loss surgery but I will get a positive mind frame and push on through. Good luck with urs and keep us posted. Oh btw I'm a newbie just joined !
