HystoWeight

Hi: I am a post Hystorectomy (Total). 210 pounds, 5 ft 7 inches, BMI around 31-32 moderate activity Insurance won't cover. I will have to self-pay and if I do should I look at sleeves instead of the band? I'm looking for a long term permanent solution. My weight gain is related to the removal of my ovaries with a dramatic body change in 5 years from 120 pounds to now. My doctors say I would have to gain more weight to get approved for surgery. I can't imagine doing that. So hey: 1. If you had to choose and were paying for it out of pocket anyways band or sleeve? 2. If you had it done over-seas what doctor did you use, and are you happy with the results? I can't afford in country options. Thank you so much for any help this topic is eating me up.

Thank you so much for the reply, if I sleeve I am looking at flying into san diego and driving across the border to have it done Looks like a pretty good doc and hospitol. The cost of aftercare is the number one reason I started thinking a sleeve might be a better fit for me.

Thought of another question, if you paid for it yourself and financed any or all of it, who did you use for that?
