I am worried too!! My surgeon told me not to lose any weight over the next 6 months (I hope to have bypass in April 2016). I am literally borderline for BMI (35.2). I had my psych clearance this week and he recommended I gain a couple of pounds, just to be safe. He did clear me for surgery though!!! I will be devastated if I don't get approved in April!????????

Hello all!! I am new here too!! I have been reading posts for a long time but this is my first post! I met with my surgeon on Wednesday this week. I had initially decided that the sleeve was what I wanted. After talking with the surgeon and going over my history, he suggested bypass for me. I have a long history of GERD and he said that many times, the sleeve makes that worse. I am a bit nervous about bypass but trust my surgeon. I had my first weigh in and supervised diet appointment yesterday. (I too have a 6 month supervised diet requirement for my insurance..BCBS). All of my other appointments are scheduled...NUT, psych, sleep study and the next 5 PCP appointments. I am nervous but excited. Changing surgeries has me a little overwhelmed!!! ????
