Hi redhead! You are going from sleeve to bypass? May I ask why? I’m getting a sleeve on 5/20 and really interested in why folks get various procedures. And I want to learn from others’ experiences. Good luck to you and all our May surgery buddies! ?

Hello. I’m having lap band removal and gastric sleeve on May 10. Excited and nervous!

Who are you talking to? You'll need to either quote the person you're addressing (at the bottom of the person's post that you're talking to, there's a "quote" button. Click that and it'll allow you to talk to that person directly) or you'll need to tag them (do the @ and then their name right next to it and it'll tag that person and let them know you're talking to them). Otherwise nobody will know who you're talking to and you might not get any responses.

Hello, new to the site. Right now my sleeve surgery is 5/2 but, I am a little confused. My insurance just got my paperwork today.

Sometime the surgeon schedules the date so the ins co tries to get the pre approval done by then. When they submit they give a date as well, unless there’s something the ins sees wrong - it works out. Good luck

The dreaded GERD with some regain.

This worries me. I'm getting the sleeve on the 3rd and I'm really nervous about GERD. Did you have any reflux or heartburn issues before the sleeve, or did it start after the surgery?

I had no GERD before surgery. I had a normal endoscopy prior to surgery and was cleared for my sleeve.

Seeking friends! My sleeve surgery is May 23rd. I’m so excited and can’t wait! Anyone else have their surgery around this date? I’m 260 lbs And 5’8. I want to lose 120 lbs. Anyone want to be my friend and we text during our journeys?
