Has anyone had this issue where you treating counselor does not want state in the letter that she is clearing me for surgery???? This is the last step and I am frustrated that they might think I'm not a good candidate!! I'm morbid obese and have been preparing myself for this surgery!!! I have done research took a while to convince myself that I wanted to proceed with gastric bypass!! Any suggestions?? The last resort is my surgeon Doctor is going to talk to my treating counselor and see if he can convince her other wise I'm shyt out of luck I think or might have to find somebody else to clear me.

I'm curious why you are choosing bypass over sleeve?

Hi Ginsin,

The surgeon who hopefully will be doing my surgery highly recommended the gastric bypass, I have researched both and the one that will benefit me more is the gastric bypass, especially for my BMI that I have. I am done with everything except it's up to the treating counselor.

Thanks, was just wondering. I know in my original seminar I would say out of 20 maybe just one considered bypass. When I talked to Dr. at consult I asked about why people choose bypass. I have know a few bypass and sleevers, oh and 3 lap banders (as I call them). My BMI is 55. Ugh

Either one will save your life. I would find anther psych

May I weigh in ? I HAVE to go RnY as I have nasty GERD and a moderate hiatus hernia. I've been told sleeve is open tube so what went down erps back up. I already have a cardiac sphincter with no sense of responsibility why sleeve and compound it? Plus a 45 BMI and an age of 70 1/2, that's is is my best fit. ???? Rosey posey
