    I don't know about insurance being a big pain...I'm sure they are, because they don't understand what we are going through. I know my insurance covers it at St. Vincent so I'm hoping after everything is done...I'm good to go.

    I'm 30, 5'5 , and 260. I have everything that you listed was wrong with you.. I can't tell you how making the decision to get sleeved ( 6 days to go) has helped me think of the future. During the pre op, I have no Gerd, my sugars have been lower than before and I feel more healthier and energetic. I highly encourage you to get the surgery and good for you!

    I was told sleeve wouldn't be a good choice for my GERD? I have a lot to research still .

    Hi, I'm in Marion, IN, but having my surgery at IU Carmel. I did consults at both IU and St. Vincents, but decided that IU was the better hospital for me. I have my reasons, and if anyone want to chat about those we can. More than anything I think its important to do your research and choose a facility that is best for you and your needs.

    I'm wondering which one to chose between the two myself. I am going for referral from doc in a week.

    Thanks everyone . Tonight I went to our county fair. I could hardly handle the heat and wore jeans because of my leg size. As we left 3 hours later I told my husband that I never ever want to feel bad another summer . I'm getting that referral and going to go for this surgery. People will judge me no matter what . I might as well just do it now! Maybe I'll have better 40s because my 30s were spent obese! I love this forum and this app has helped me in one day more than any info out there! I'm gonna do this!!

    Hello ! I've been reading a lot for months now. The good the bad and the ugly . The complications scare me. I am 41 and 5'5" 256 lbs and have type 2 diabetes/GERD /high bp/high cholesterol and have been overweight about 9 years now in the obese category . I go to my doctor in 3 wks to try to get a referral for gastric bypass surgery. I feel I just cannot do this anymore and my health is getting scary. I guess I'm looking for some reassurance and I need to hear from people who started where I am at and have done well. All the horror stories have me just scared. Yet my future and losing life from obesity is scarier. Any advice and or comments appreciated :)
