Hey, everyone! I went to the PI seminar on, June 15th, had my Psych test and met with the Dietician on, July 15th, then had my first appointment with the Dr. on, July 29th. I have been looking into the Sleeve. I have always been kind of afraid, if you will, of the Bypass because of Nutrient Deficiencies, rerouting the intestines....etc. When I met with Dr. Nguyen, he said, given that I have irregular periods, PCOS, and infertility he believes I also probably have a Metabolic issue. Which would be why I can eat clean, and kill it in the gym with minimal results. He recommended that I consider the Bypass, instead of the Sleeve. He said he doesn't want me to sell myself short, by getting something that may not give me maximum weight loss results. Has anyone else had their Doctor tell them this? If so, which surgery did you go with? How did you do with it? Thanks, Becca

I have Ga Medicaid. Awesome! How far into the process r u?

Hey, y'all! I'm also just beginning the process! I am 27 years old. I have a 3 yr old son and I am a Phlebotomist. (I draw blood!) I have been to the Seminar, Education class, 1st Dr visit, and my Psych Evaluation is scheduled for September 3rd. I hopefully, will not have to do a Dr supervised diet! I'm so excited to finally be on the path to doing something for myself, for a change! Good luck, y'all!

Thanks, everyone! This information has helped! I got a call yesterday from my Drs office to schedule my Psych evaluation. It all feels kind of like a dream! I'm so ready to get this done!!

Glitterpockets he said he would choose Bypass over sleeve for me because the Sleeve doesn't fix Metabolic issues. I really need to clarify but I think it has something to do w an enzyme that is produced. The bypass removes the nerve or something that causes the release of the enzyme.

Shellyd88 did you have the sleeve or bypass? I agree, it is my decision. I weigh 229 and can't drop below 219 or I won't be approved. I have like 100lbs to lose. Thank you both for your replies!

These do look very good! Thanks for sharing!
