Haha I had called my insurance to verify they got the authorization, they were like no at first and then was like oh yeah but they haven't worked on it. Less than hour later coordinator called.

Let's keep in contact since we're going around same time. Can keep each motivated

I want to do bypass but he was like your BMI is on the low side. I'm going to see if I still can

@@CrissyCakes I have thought about it and I don't wanna be this way again, ever! I need the extra push to keep me on track like the dumping cause I hate to be sick, would rather give birth than be sick lol. I think this will definitely be the extra that I need. My bmi is 49-50 so I think I will be ok, what is yours?

As long as giving birth involved a ton of drugs, then yeah I'd have to agree. My BMI is 41. I'm 5'3 230. He was really pushing me for the band, which after asking on here almost everyone told me not to do it. I'm gonna call the coordinator and see if I have the option

@@CrissyCakes even minus the drugs as long as it was like my 1st lol the 2nd was unreal amounts of lower back pain ???????????? hehe I would so ask and I 2nd the rest no band you don't want something man made in your body like that for yrs, IMO. Yep, I think I just literally made up my mind, bypass for me I'm 5'5" 1/2 n 300

Congratulations @@hazelzay

My mom had the bypass and she said if she could do it all over again if they had it 10 years ago she would have done the sleeve . Dumping syndrome and gas are the worst for her

Lol I threw up severely for mines. I would look at food and throw up. In and out of the hospital...lol but I ended up with a pretty cute kid so it balanced.

I called the coordinator, waiting to hear back. Don't wanna lose only to possibly gain back. My surgeon tried very hard to talk me into band, told me I'd gain all the weight back. That I'd stretch my new stomach. That the band was better, easier. ????????????
