I ended up having to have gastric bypass. My surgeon called the day before my surgery and even though insurance had approved my surgery, the surgeon said he was afraid I would be stuck with the bill. He had been talking to other surgeon doing SIPS and the insurance had started having problems with it because of coding. So my doctor was putting the procedure on hold for a while till it was resolved. I did not want to wait after my ten day prepping and me mentally getting ready. I was very disappointed. What is the latest with you?

Are you talking about the SIPS procedure? I am having it done Thursday.

It is a combination of sleeve and bypass but I am only reconnected at one place. It is new with out a lot of information but it has been successful with diabetics. I googled it and found information on it!

I am having a procedure called SIPS on Aug 6th in Alabama. It is new for our area and I was wondering has anyone else ever heard of it? It is a combination of the gastric bypass and sleeve. My doctor is the only one doing it in my area and suggested this because I would loose more points on my BMI than just the bypass and as overweight as I am it would helped. Just hoping someone else has heard of it and can share some information.

My surgery is August 6th and I am nervous!

I could not find the Facebook page. My surgery is August 6th.
