I am very happy I chose the sleeve over the bypass. All of the health issues I had are gone. This was the best choice I've made in my life in terms of in both improving my health and improving how I look. I'll admit I started to get cold feet at one point about 2 months into my pre-op plan about going ahead with surgery since I had already started losing weight. Someone said to me, "What makes you think this time is going to be any different than all the other times you tried?" That stuck with me and helped me realize I needed this surgery as a tool to help me be healthy. Good luck with your decision. VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 244 GW = 220 (6'5")

115 pounds gone 25 to my personal goal! Great way to begin the new year!! VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 244.8 GW = 220 (6'5")

I'm in the same boat a you when it comes to how your Dr. Handles things. The practice that did my surgery had a very intense program with group classes, several 1:1 meetings with RD and personal trainers, psych evals, etc. preop. Postop We have more RD follow up meetings, etc. We had binders for all the info to reference back...still, people forget and post to our private FB group questions that are covered countless times in all the meetings. I also know of a practice the next county over that does none of these items...if you meet your insurance requirements you have surgery and then sent home on your own. To sum it up, I guess some people genuinely do not know and some may just forget or aren't really paying attention during their preop classes, etc. VSG 10/11/17 HW = 360 SW = 292 CW = 252.8 GW = 220 (6'5")
