Late to the party. June 16th sleever here. I'll join the FB group

I just did my endoscopy last week. Last big milestone for me . Pre op appointment on June 5th. Start the pre op diet on Tuesday. Yay!

June 16th here . Woot!!

Hi all, I am 4 months into my 6 month pre op. I just met my surgeon today for the first time and am confused as ever. I had originally chosen bypass, but everything in me is telling me to do the sleeve. Today, he told me that he would do whoever I wanted but if I did the sleeve I would probably only lose 10 points off my BMI and would still be at a 40 (I'm a 50 now) he then told me I would have better results with bypass. I left feeling confused to say the least. Anyone have any words of wisdom for me? Personal experiences, similar experiences, etc?

Binge eating and portion control are my main issues too. I just react so poorly to that word malabsorption. I think that is my biggest factor with going with the sleeve. I am going to prove him wrong! Lol

Thank you so much! Nothing in my history that I can see as a red flag. To be honest he also told me that if I had Bypass it would only probably. Ring me down to a 35 BMI. I call BS on both counts. I'm going to use my frustration to kick butt at this. I think he was just trying to be cautious on expectations. I took that as shutting me down. I'll show him! Lol

Ha! I love comparing anything in my life to the zombie apocalypse so I relate to this. This is exactly why I am leaning towards the sleeve. I am just awful at taking any kind of medications. I am really great at a lot of things, this isn't my strongpoint (and I have the child to show for it! Lol). I don't want to be tied down to taking vitamins the rest of my life. I was just so mad and felt like "how dare you think I won't do better". Honestly everyone I know that had the sleeve has been super successful. I appreciate your response!! Liz

Great job! Which surgery did you have?

Have you talked to your counselor about it? Also make sure you mention to your surgeon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
