Funny, I'm approved...

 Well, I heard the news I am approved for the Duodenal Switch, but have changed my mind and want the sleeve, now, LOL. That's just like me. I am too scarred to get some thing done to my intestines yet. Also, I dint want to have to be on vitamins my entire life, lets see what happens...

Good luck with your choice, whatever it turns out to be, LOL. Do you have to wait on approval of the sleeve, or is already approved? With RNY and DS, you have to take vitamins for the rest of your life. Even the band requires some vitamins. You don't have to do that with the sleeve?
Again, good luck to you!

Good luck getting the Sleeve approved. Obviously, I believe you are making the right choice since it was what I chose! LOL I didn't want anyone messing with my intestines either or to have to take supplements forever or to have malabsorbtion issues since I take a lot of meds for my other health issues. The Sleeve, in my opinion, is the least invasive procedure of all.
  
Over 110 lbs lost!! (Finally!)

Choose what is the best option for your situation. Talk over your needs and wants with your surgeon and let us know whick you decide and when you will be having surgery. This is life changing, for the best improvement in health and happiness. Hugs

Congrats on your approval! Now will you have to await another approval process? You HAVE to feel comfortable with whatever road you choose, so choose what you feel in your heart is best!
Let us know when you know the date!
