    Briswife15 got a reaction from elcee in Got my surgery date!   
    March 27th bypass for me! I'm so excited even though it's a long way off. Couldn't do February because we're moving. Is there a March 2019 bypass group yet,? I couldn't find one when I searched.

    Briswife15 got a reaction from Sherrischeffler in Sleeve or Bypass... help!   
    My surgeon won't do a sleeve on me because my barium swallow showed reflux and moderate dismobility. He said it was likely the reflux would get worse. I am on strong meds for GERD and still have reflux. So it is bypass for me. Good luck with whatever you choose.

    Thank you all for your replies and advice!! Good suggestions. I will pack and move in February and then have surgery in March after I'm all settled in my new house. Having surgery right before moving would be too much!

    No one but you can make the decision on whether you are ready for a life altering medical procedure.
    You need to research the risks and decide what is best for your health and your future.

    Ah, I have heard that gastric sleeve can cause and/or exacerbate heartburn. Let your team know, and I hope you feel better soon!

    You can have a jeweler put an inexpensive little ring "guard" around them on the inside that makes them a little tighter. I did this last time I dropped a lot of weight. It cost about $5 USD.

    It really depends. I had blood work, a barium swallow, a cardiac work up with stress test, a psych evaluation and 6 months of supervised nutrition counseling. My bypass should be next month.
