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

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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
