    Ask yourself why did you want the GBS vs VSG and then what made you choose VSG and then why now you want GBS again if whatever you answer makes sense to you gen go with that. I always say go with your gut feeling and ask if you can change surgery cause then you might then later on go get a revision and that's another surgery.




    I tried to change to RNY but they said my insurance already approved VSG.

    Yay.... I am so happy for you. Are they going to have you do the 2 week pre-op diet? I'm hearing that depending where you go and which doctor you see you get different instructions. Some people do 1,2 or even 3 pre-op fluild diet. OMG is right around the corner.... How has it been thus far?

    Thanks! It was a long process for me because I missed 1 month of my 6 month weight ins and had to start it over twice but other than that all the other requirements were easy and quick. Yes, I do have to do 2 weeks liquid diet [emoji37] which I start on 08/25/17. I'm so nervous and I'm really questioning myself on my choice of surgery. In the beginning I chose gastric bypass but when I met with my surgeon I ended up choosing the sleeve but now I'm thinking should I have went with the gastric bypass. Ugh lol

    They're extremely helpful they make sure your on top of all your testings. I had nothing but good experiences with them.
    Requirements:
    6 monthly weight ins
    Sleep study
    Endoscopy
    Breathing test
    Echocardiogram
    Sonogram of liver
    Pulmonary function test
    You have to meet with the dietitian (this you pay $250 out of pocket for 3 visits)

    Sounds like a whole lot but all these tests can be done within a month. The only thing that takes long is the six months weigh-ins.
