Choosing Bariatric Surgery

[TwinkleToes87 3]

I’ve been going back and forth and have decided to go with the sleeve because it’s covered by insurance and the procedure I had wanted, the sadi-s would cost me $20,000 because of my BMI. I hope this is the right choice.

I don't know the figures but can say that if you already have GERD, the sleeve is not the surgery for you.

Is sleeve your only covered option, or do you have reasons you've eliminated RNY as a possibility?

Talk with your doctor to see what's right for you, my insurance covered 80 percent and I had to pay around 6K out of pocket. I am only 3 weeks post op but I don't regret the surgery one bit. I can see changes in my body and progress. 😁

had the sleeve, gained it back. 7 months out from sadi-s and 70lbs down (more than i ever lost with sleeve) but very big bathroom issues!! make sure you're investigating all procedures is my advice.

The reason my surgeon wants me to get the sleeve is because of the medicine I need to be on with ms. Otherwise I wanted to get the SADI!
