Hi I'm just wondering from the time you had your first apt to your surgery how long of a process was it?? Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I was told by my Dr that the sleeve is just basically taking out part of the stomach. But with the rny they have to do more cutting and connecting. It actually helps you with the craving. He said the sleeve is more for ones who has is more a food eater. The rny is better for the ones who love the sweets and chip snacking. He said it with more medical terms, but that's what i told him how i understand it and he agreed that's what he was explaining. In short terms anyone else get told this?

Oh wow thank you. This is my second attempt i went through everything in 2012 and the day before my surgery i was sick with a cold and they couldn't go through with it due to my chest cold. Then i ended up going through so much in life general it just kept being put on the back burner., but i just went last week and if i can get all my tests from my previous dr. It can be very lil before. I'm hoping it will be allot faster. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Oh wow thank you.
