I'm having the same dilemma though am also leaning towards the bypass. The sleeve seems like a good idea because it's a simple operation but so is the lapband and in the long run that turned out to work not so well. I think a lot of the places that used to push the band are now pushing the sleeve for the same reason the band was attractive

Tummy-tuck included (Medicaid)

It's unlikely that they'd do a tuck at the same time as the bypass since there would be little point. I also doubt you could get the authorization until they can assess just how much it hangs. You never know what you body is going to look like. -

Food-Stamps supplies ideas

Are you restricted to certain products when you pay with food stamps or is it pretty much anything in the supermarket. Some of the markets I go into sell the tubs of Protein powder. Thats usually more economical than the ready to drinks. -

I have well treated bipolar and no one has suggested that it will be a problem but I also didn't call up and ask they took bipolar patients. Just make an appointment for a consult and go from there. If the surgeon is willing to operate on your then that trumps most of the rest of the team. -
Y'know I have been wondering the same thing myself. I love to sew, have my degree in design but have sworn off clothes because of my size. I have cast on for a sweater though in a medium since they take me a while to complete. I plan to sew t shirts in several sizes to get my through my initial weight loss. I have a stack of jeans from the way up. Not sure I would start on a fully hand padded jacket though.
