We can be buddies !! I’m on the 17th

I am scheduled for my Gastric bypass on the 17th !!!!

So i was approved for Gastric surgery, and right now i am in the process of being cleared by multiple specialist. I when to consult with a gastroenterologist, but he stated that he doesn't think i should go for the bypass, and should op for the sleeve because the complications of the duodenum switch. He just felt like i would just do great with a sleeve. I initially wanted the bypass because my BMI is 42.4, and i know you lose more with the bypass, and that was his other proposal because he said losing so much weight in a short period of time is not good and the bypass has been proven to do just that. I'm stuck. He's advising against it and told me to not let anyone push my to get a bypass done.. Has anyone went through this before ? Sent from my LGMP450 using BariatricPal mobile app

Im dieting and exercising for years. I know this is not a quick fix. Ive chose GB due to the weight loss result seems to be better than a sleeve. Thank you. I think i just have to really think as far as which procedure i want to do...

Agreed with karen

It really depends on YOUR PLAN. I have United healthcare Through my employer ( Hospital Employee) and my surgery is 100% covered, and a supervised diet is not needed. every united healthcare plan is different. the best thing you can do is call the back of your card and see what is covered, and what is not. that is how i found out. wish you all the best

make sure you are not putting your body in starvation mode.
