Sleeve vs Gastric
reece1239 replied to tonylamentola's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The doctors suggested the bypass for me but I decided on the sleeve because I dont feel comfortable with the whole rerouting of the intestines thing and the doctor complied. Im 5"9 290 and I feel the sleeve will be perfect for me. I will be done with all requirements next month! Cant wait to get approved -

When did you get your EGD?
reece1239 replied to PreOpSleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just had a EGD last week and I am required to have another in 8 weeks because the found I had a food allergy. They prescribed me Prilosec and said that should take care of the problem. I still have 1.5 months of the required 3 month dietician so thats no problem. Im so anxious to get this process over with so I can get to the approval process! I also have to do a sleep study next month so September will be an appointment filled month for me. Wish me luck! -
I am currently still in the approval process. I still have two m o re months with the dietician a n d a few other things have to be done for per the hospital but I am moving alone and hope I get approved!

December 2015 or January 2016 sleevers ?
reece1239 replied to neequa25's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello everyone I am from Chicago and Cigna is my insurance carrier. I will be on month 3 of my 3 month supervised weight loss program on 8-25. I still have to do a sleep study next month, a second ekg next month and meet with my pcp. After those appointments I will almost be at the approval process and hope to have surgery in early December. Im 5"9 290lbs and want to shed 120lbs of this unwanted weight. I am so excited about surgery and it seems like its all I can think of at this point! Im so glad to read about other people going thru this journey as it seems like im the only one at times. Good luck everybody! Now lets shed these lbs together!!! -

I cant wait until I get to that point! It just seems like you have to go thru so much to get there and that alone can be demorolizing -

What insurance do you guys have. I have Cigna and I have two months left on my diet also with a slight weight as well. -
