A little nervous. I know my life is going to change. I’m just not sure how yet, it’s hard to picture or imagine

Same here. I'm also a sleever and I've been small in the past but this weight gain over the past few years has ruined my self-confidence and my relationship. Before I had kids I was 150 now I'm 310 that's over half weight gain.

So I've been doing a lot f research. A lot of people complain about acid reflux after the sleeve. I'm really leaning to bypass now.

Is the bypass more invasive

Yes, it re-routes your intestine. I'll post a pic.

A little more invasive inside but we still end up with the 5 slits in our tummies just like you sleeved. They pull most of your stomach out and discard it, we keep ours so in theory we could be rejoined and put back to original but I've never heard of a single soul who had it done. One surgery is a-plenty in my book!

I was told the same. It may just be the OPs surgeon that will only accept one up to 30 days old.

[kakatlady612 1,053]

Yeah all my clearances are good for a year also.

Well every surgical dude and dudette runs Bariatrics different but they may do yours when your blood work, EKG and x rays before surgery get done. I'm old and they probably wanted to make sure everything wasn't broke down too bad before any operation. It'll all come out in the wash, darling.

In California, it's good for 30 days, but it is a standard EKG, chest xray, and blood work prior to any surgery. Although I was told a chest xray shouldn't be necessary unless the anesthesiologist wants it.
