I am new but am scheduled for Monday, October 8. I am 50 have uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, PTSD, hypothyroidism, and lumbar back pain. I am 5'3" and weigh 235. I was first told get the sleeve but now the (Dr) Dr. Chang says complete Gastrc Bypass. My insurance doesn't pay for this. The sleeve is cheaper but as I understand it with all my health problems and medications the Full Bypass will be best for me.
Please anyone who knows about this fill me in. I am on information overload without answers to the important questions. I need to do what is best for my health but $20,000.00 is So Much!
Thanks.............Tammy
