Don't give up!!! You are almost there! Insurances try to make it difficult for people so they can give up!!! One advice don't give up Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Has any one has complications REVISIONing from band to bypass? If so what complications? As I do know every surgery has its risks! I just want to be mentally prepared for all this!! I am nervous and having some sleepless nights, I am excited but nervous!! My surgery is on the 22nd of Nov. I am super stoked and cannot wait for a healthy lifestyle!!!

I know people who are skinny or thin still produce more estrogen then progesterone. It's just a thought!! It might be a hormone problem Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Don't be afraid I had a doctor once tell me; "you have more of A probability of dieing in a car accident then you do in a surgery." I do believe him to an extent. I still think about that till this day. You will be fine this is why they check everything before u go into surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi I have Molina and omg I was discouraged lots of times, but I never gave up. I actually got ahead of the game and did the whole process on my own, then next day the Molina case manager called me and she asked me if I knew anything about the whole process I told her yes I know somewhat the process and I am referred already to all my appts for physical therapy, nutrition visit and also behavioral health. She's like wow your the only one who I have ever worked with that's prepared and ready to go. So my Molina case manger discharged me last month and said I'm good to go I've lost 40lbs your only required to loose 20lbs. So I was excited I was just APPROVED for surgery last week!!!! I'm super excited!!! And yes it required all 12 visits for each. Except for my nutrition I only did 6 visits because the other 6 nutrition visits are with the the Weightloss surgeons office. I have one more nutrition visit at the surgeons office Nov 8 and my surgery is Nov 22nd!!!! So I'm excited only a month and 1 week away! Don't get discouraged and I have to say it takes a lot of patients. I heard one lady it took her two years to get approved by Molina but yet I didn't know what issues that lady might of had. But stay on task stick with your appointments and you should be good to go. I say in 6-7 months you will be in the same boat as me.!! Good luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Gastric bypass is the gold standard! If people who have higher BMI they are better with the bypass vs the sleeve. I was in with my nutritionist today. And she say that I am more qualified for the bypass since I have been big my entire life!! So there for make a wise decision on which is going to benefit you more!! Good luck everyone.

So after you had gastric bypass surgery do you still feel hungry or not? Did you have any gas pain? What is the most important thing to prepare myself for this surgery in November? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

At first I wanted the sleeve but the. Doctor mentioned that the sleeve would not be a good fit for my BMI, therefor he suggested that he only do the bypass, which would be more effective for me. Which I agree, but for some reason I see people who have had the sleeve ended going back to get the bypass. I myself look at the one that's going to last me and maintain me forever. Every surgery has its pros and cons. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
