Deciding whether to have the bypass now since the sleeve was denied

I was denied from having the sleeve and now I am trying to decide whether to have the bypass or to fight for an appeal. I don't know much about the different things with the bypass so I need to research this a little more. I was ok with the sleeve but no I am thinking maybe the bypass would be better because at least if something were to go wrong it could be reversed. I just don't know. I am just confused and trying to figure out what to do next and what to decide.

I would fight for what you want! If I could do it all over again I would have chose to have the DS and not the RNY. Just my opinion though there are those here that LOVE their pouches.

I can only speak from my own experience and I love my sleeve.  I also had Dr Strickland and loved him.

With the sleeve you don't have as many follow up appts.  My PCP orders my labs and I send a copy to Dr Strickland.  Since I was self pay it sure saves a lot of money. 

Good luck
