  1. I know I should probably talk to my doctor, but has anymore changed their mind on which weightloss surgery to have? I have one more step left on Monday before everything is submitted to insurance for approval. I chose the sleeve 7 months ago when I had my 1st and only appointment with the Bariatric surgeon - I only entertained the surgery initially as a less invasive procedure compared to back surgery per my primary care dr. However, after completing the 6 month dieting for insurance purposes and learning about my eating habits, how my body responds, etc., and by doing a lot more research, I strongly feel Bypass will be better for me in the long run. My question is will I have to start this whole process over, although it hasn't been submitted to insurance yet?
  2. Hi all. Thank you for the kind responses! I wrote my doctor a lengthy email expressing my desire to change surgery types, and he was fine with it.

    I have my Gastric Bypass scheduled for November 27th. I'm just hoping everything goes through with insurance. Did anyone notify their employer as soon as they received their surgery date, or did you wait until insurance approved the surgery? I don't want my office to know what surgery I'm having.
  4. Hi catwoman. Thanks for your reply, and for your reassurance. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I've basically reached this decision today, on the weekend lol. I guess I'm also nervous that my surgeon won't agree as he seemed pretty confident about the sleeve. I know I'm usually not really ever satisfied after eating a normal portion of food and I "feel" hungry soon after and that I crave sweets regularly. I need more help with my hunger pangs.
