Hello every one I am new here surgery scheduled for mon dec 17 originally set for the gvs due to a rhumatoid auto immune disorder and the meds I take, but decided to be more aggressive with the weight loss and reversal of the comorbidities, anyone on here had the sleeve and now full bypass or change their mind at last min like me? How are you for fairing? I feel a bit un prepared as I have prepared for sleeve post op, now I feel like I may be missing something to help me heal

Thanks

What made you change your mind? I have bad acid reflux and I was afraid it will get worse with the sleeve. I was also worried about not losing enough or gaining it back. The sleeve is new and the data isn't available like it is for the bypass.

Are you nervous? Where are you? What time is your surgery? I will be thinking of you.

Oh yes I'm nervous! Same reasons as you, but also that my approval is a dream and I won't actually get the surgery, or because of my hypothyroid I won't actually be able to lose anything. When researching I saw more sleeve info from Mexico surgeons than US; its also cheaper (which is why I think a lot of self pay people take it even further into consideration aside from the lack of malnutrition). But the ability to quickly or eventually eat or drink whatever I wanted even in small amount scared me. I like sweets too much and am praying that this tool will help me avoid them until I can get control of my eating habits. I'm having surgery in Sac, CA-not sure what time yet. How about you?

I will be having surgery in Dallas, Texas at 7:30 am. I'm excited but super nervous.
