  7. Well Hello... My friends call me Yathie.. And this is my story... About 4 years ago I wanted to do the operation,{GASTRIC SLEEVE} then came to almost doing it and change mind,{ SCARED OUT OF} Now my Surgery is scheduled to February 24 2014 and it's been a hell of an up and down mad roller coaster ride, In August of 2013 was my first visit with my surgeon on deciding which surgery is best for me. As I was hoping she would say the sleeve, which she did, but then 1 month before my scheduled surgery date, she changes mind in saying that maybe the gastric bypass would be best since I suffer from heartburn and even though I lost some weight for surgery my hearburn is still bad and also have a hiatal hernia.. Once she told me this, I literally had a panic attack not there of course, she told me think about it and i will call Tuesday. Tuesday comes and I changed my mind this week of thinking it over was killing me with anxiety and told her no im not going through it. So the next day comes and im thinking to myself what im i thinking calling back saying id like to keep it and continue surgery. So I was just wondering does the gastric bypass make you lose weight faster than the sleeve?? I just feel like i don't have great elasticity that ill be all wobbly and will hate my body more than i do now. Can anyone help out in answering my question? Thanks

      I went and got a spa pedicure the day before. It made me feel pretty, relaxed me, and took my mind off of things.

      call your doctor a little Xanax won't hurt. it sounds as if you are having panic attacks or anxiety attacks. but call your doctor just in case it is something else.

      You are welcome! If your heartburn is that bad I can understand by they are suggesting bypass but I guess you need to decide what would be the lesser of two evils. If you get bypass you will have to take vitamins and supplements forever d/t the malabsorption. If you have the sleeve you may need to be on antacids or something for GERD. Tough decisions since they are irreversible. Maybe pose this question on the forum instead of here... you may find a lot of ppl who had to make this dec...
