Im waiting for my phone to get a good charge. So who would know/tell me how many months of weight management would be needed, the doctor or insurance? I'd assume insurance. The first time I called and asked for info, she said Id need to see a nutritionist. Then when I asked her how long, she tells me there's no set amount of time.

Bedhead, by any chance are you on another forum like this. I just saw someone with the same handle respond to a post of mine. I know its possible it can be someone else, but would be cool if it was you.

CPT code is like a code known by all insurance companies? Is that number universal? I will call them.

A friend of mine told me she wouldn't hang out with me when Im skinny. Was it shocking... Not really.

Hi. Which doctor did you go to that was on Brooklyn or Manhattan?

Okay, thank you.

I only seen two people that had there's done via the navel. Who has done it that way? If not how many incisions do you have. Does the doctor in advance tell you he's going through the navel/open/laproscopically?

I already chose a surgeon, well at least the hospital. Four doctors at my hospital do it. My bf had her surgery done almost ten years ago and so far Ive met another person, that had her surgery done by him, so I'm comfortable choosing him. I will officially meet him in three weeks so of I'm not feeling him, then Ill go with another doctor.

My tummy is not that favorable especially after my son. I'm thinking more about less pain spots. However I don't know if it's safer with the regular five than with one, whichever is better for my surgeon to do, I'm all for it.

Congrats on all of your losses. I'm going to google spider gastric sleeve.

Congrats to everyone.

Hi. I have been researching WLS for some time now. I originally wanted the RNY, but have been considering the sleeve more, due to everything internally is left the same, just the removal of a LARGE part of the stomach, which is something I am still wrapping my head around. Anywho, I have been considering the band, Rny, sleeve, and recently DS, but narrowed it down mainly to the sleeve and bypass. Can anyone provide me with a link that compares the two (bypass, and sleeve) with as much information as possible. Also can someone tell me what are all the negatve side effects. I know that with the rny there is the dumping, more chance of hypoglycemia, etc. I read that dumping is possible, and heart burn is something that happens with the sleeve. I'd especially like information on the heartburn, etc. Thanks.

Thanks everyone.

Did anyone workout or not workout during this time?
