Nov 5th here scheduled for the sleeve' date=' but i'm going to change to RNY. And, probably change the surgery day to a Monday if I can. I'm going from band to RNY.... band just sucks.[/quote']myI hear you I have the band too and I hate it! I'm scheduled for a revision to the bypass November 4th. Didn't want the sleeve because the results aren't much better then the band. And I was told by my surgeon's assistant me I may only loose another 20 to 30 lbs. So I want the RNY because I need to loose at least 60 lbs or more.

Good luck. I hope you get to change it.

Morning' date=' I'm new, I have a surgery date but need to decide either sleeve or bypass, any advice?[/quote']

Hi Rita,

It is really up to you to chose what is the right one for you. Everyone is different. I'm having a revision from the band. And I like the weight loss percentage of the bypass over the sleeve. Also, the sleeve is a newer procedure and they don't know what the long term affects are yet. Visit the sleevetalk.com site and get more information there. This is a very important step in our lives we are taking so you have to make sure you know all there is to know about each surgery and never be afraid to ask questions. I hope this helps. Good luck with your choice.

Im in NY CW: 262 surgery date 11/6/13

I weigh 225 but what I am most excited about the surgery is a cure for my diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and reflux. I can't believe how wonderful it would be to wake up and not have to take a container full of medication. In my support group a lady with diabetes, taking 11 diabetes pills a day, left the hospital only taking 1 pill and that was only because of such an extreme family history of diabetes.

Also, looking good in pants wont hurt!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
