I went to my preop appointment last week, all excited, no trembling fears... but something my surgeon told me has been eating at me. He said that if the sleeve is cut too narrow, they have to bypass right then instead. WHAT?? I can understand the logic, but I hadn't thought of this... I DO NOT want a bypass and the thought is scaring me to death. He did assure me that he hasn't had to do this yet, but he's only been doing sleeves for a few months. Did your doctor say the same thing? Has anyone had this happen to them or know anyone who it's happened to?

Surgery is scheduled for July 17 and I won't back out, but this new fear is really intense... to the point of losing sleep over.

I know everyone signs a waiver and it is possible to wake up with a different surgery than you went under for - I have seen at least 2 sleevers who where scheduled for Bypass woke up with the sleeve due to stomach damage or disease.
