Topic: Bypass vs Sleeve
I am going to a seminar on Saturday
I am not even considering the band. I have too much to lose.
I weigh 369 pds and am 5' 10ish BMI 52.4
I need to lose 200 lbs
What are your opinions Bypass or Sleeve
My thoughts are Sleeve as I keep reading there are less vitamin definciencies and less chance of dumping but I would like to hear from people who have them
I also need questions to ask and what to expect. Insurance only pays 4000 and need ideas of where to look for financial help with so so credit

I'm from Northwest Arkansas.  My surgery is Aug 26th.  My doctor put me on all my vit during my 6 month supervised diet, required by my insurance.

I just got TriCare to approve the surgery. I'm waiting on Dr. Fuller's in LR to call to make my 3 visits and surgery date. I've been watching YouTube vidoes ALL day. I'm excited but scared. Everything I can deal with but the extra skin and no coverage from TriCare to fix it terrifies me! Good luck!

Hi!  I just joined this forum and am signed up for a seminar at Roller clinic.  I haven't made any decision on surgery but would Love to be in touch with you guys as you are local and likely if I make a decision then our surgeries would be scheduled within a few months of each other.  Would love to have local support!    Kristina

 

P.S.  I live in Fayetteville, 35 yrs old
