Hi, Well consult went well however he suggest that I get Rny instead of sleeve due to suggesting too lose 120lbs or more. So now due to age and meds I take I have a stress test at 4-p tomorrow. my PCP also want me to do clear liquid for 1 week and dang gone psych evaluation. and to try fasting. only water for one day. What the heck . is that!

Smooches,

Mrs. Kitt

You should get on the sleeve board. I'm sure there are plenty of people there that have lost 120+. I'm not sure why your doc would suggest sleeve over RNY because of amount of weight. I can understand if its because of the type of eating you do, not the amount of weight. Also, if your PCP and WLS surgeon are not in the same office I would definitely make sure if your PCP says to do something that your surgeon is on board with it. Anyway, talk to your surgeon more about wthere/she wants you to switch, the details not just a generic answer.

just my opinion.
