Hi my name is jennifer and i was just approved for the sleeve. i was actually going for the bypass, but the nurse made a mistake and put the sleeve down. after talking to herand finding out the doctor doesnt do the bypass anymore just the sleeve i had a choice to get the sleeve or be referred somewhere else. i decided after 5 years of trying to get the surgery, gone through several insurance companies and loopholes, i finally getthe approval on my first attempt with this insurance company i'm taking the sleeve lol. i know much about the bypass for both my parents had it done but not so much about the sleeve. what is the difference which one is better. my mom is ten years out my dad is 8 years out. my dad is thin like a rail my mom has some meat on her still. my mom is a grazer. my dad can eat eat eat and stay thin. i want to be medium not to thin but not fat anymore either. any answers will be great thank you
