So I'm still in preop stages and still trying to decide between sleeve and bypass... I have an extensive amount of weight to lose so I want to make the right choice to make sure I lose as much as possible. If it's possible/just as easy to lose 250lbs with the sleeve as it is with bypass then I'd rather have sleeve. But from what I've noticed most people lose 70,90,100, or even 150 with the sleeve haven't seen many people stating they've lost 200 or more. So if you're out there I'd love to hear from you!

Insurance usually requires 3-6 months of supervised weight loss. Mine is only 3. I went to my informational seminar mid February a week and a half later met with my surgeon on that visit we went over all questions and laid out the plan and scheduled my next 3 appointments exactly 1 month apart to the day I had my second apointment last Thursday from there I have 2 more last one mid may and then they can then submit everything to my insurance for approval. The insurance has 2 weeks to approve or deny coverage. So hopefully I'll have a surgery date scheduled for early to mid june. I know it seems like an eternity but the time flies by especially with all u have to get done for your insurance to approve it I fell like I'm constantly going to appointments, group meetings ect in preperation and the closer I get the more nervous I feel like there's still so much to be done. The 3-6 months will fly by just stick to your program and focus on your WL goals and your lifestyle changes! Good luck hope I was able to give you some sort of time frame knowledge!

That is awesome! You should be so proud of yourself! So in just under a year you have lost 200 lbs? That's amazing. If you don't mind sharing how much more to do you plan to lose or what is your goal weight? You can pm me if you'd like or you don't have to answer at all I understand that it's very personal for some. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
