My story: I am 38, my HW was 365, and im currently 346.8 My goal is to be at 190. I want the Gastric sleeve. I have a surgery date of April 6th. My endoscopy showed a Small hiatal hernia. The surgeon said at first that can be fixed. Later he says it wont be, because its not big enough and im not symptomatic. Then he states, instead of the Gastric Sleeve that I want.......He feels the RNY would be more beneficial, and I would be more successful with it. He states with my high BMI and "impaired fasting glucose" I would do better with RNY The downside is its $2000 for RNY than the Sleeve. The financial aspect is where Im really struggling. Ive maxed out my options for financing. I have a Care Credit card for $8K I have a $4,000 cap with insurance that will pay part of the hospital portion. I still have to fork over $3350 to the hospital. Ive also always been comfortable with my decision to go the Sleeve route. Its no rerouting, they take 80% of my stomach...No worries bout malabsorbtion or anything. I have no reflux issues. I am pre diabetic(a1c of 6.0) and my glucose levels have been normal since July of last year. I am active being I workout regularly, I watch my eating habits, and have modified them quite a bit. My blood pressure is hereditary and well controlled. I have hormone imbalance(pcos). So Friday I go in to the Doctor to discuss all this. My pre op apt is 3/25, liquid diet to start a week before surgery. Am I going to fail with the Sleeve? Should I Just give up, because trying to get $2000 isn't going to work. We just don't have it in our budget. We are barely squeaking by if I get this sleeve. Can the surgeon also refuse surgery if I don't go with the RNY?? Im lost...Any advise would be great. Thank you.

Thank you all for your advice/comments and stuff. Its a lot to take in.... I am comfortable with the Sleeve, both mentally, emotionally...and financially. Today I meet with my surgeon...I know he wants me to have RNY.....So we shall see how this plays out Thanks again everyone!!
