Has anyone had the sleeve and had success with pregnancy later on? I'm determining which surgery to get. The dr recommended bypass but I don't like all the bad problems with it as opposed to the sleeve Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello For those of you who have pcos which surgery did you choose and why? Bypass or sleeve? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My first appt is Wednesday at 3pm, I'm so nervous that I stressed myself out to where I haven't been able to go to the bathroom in almost 6 days I suffer from chronic constipation so it's normal for me. I'm worried I won't get approved, I'm now 1 pound away from the bmi of 49, my bmi is 39.9.. what should I ask the dr and what should I expect? Anything to calm my nerves a little. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey when you guys were given the 6 month diet with the dr supervised could you lose weight during that time? Or were you not allowed too? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did you have any comorbidities? And what is your insurance? I'm between 39.8-39.9 bmi I'm afraid I won't get approved Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Thank you! Will do! I'm hoping I get approved! I got approved for the breast reduction but they told me not to do it until all the weight is off Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! I sure hope so! I had a heart monitor put in ( loop recorder) cause I was experiencing symptoms causing me to faint and be dizzy due to being obese. I hope one of those comorbidities I have work! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My consult is next week on Wednesday at 3pm when I called around make the appt I told the lady I didn't meet the bmi requirements and she told me that I should be ok cause I was so close, but I'm still worried. I've literally tried everything to lose weight and nothing works. I've put every pill into my body possible. I haven't submitted anything yet Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I called them and they wouldn't give me any information until it was submitted. My bmi is 39.5-39.7, I've tried to gain the 2 pounds I need but it isn't working. All my health issues are related to my weight and due to pcos I can't lose weight I'm so afraid I'm gonna get denied Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am looking into getting the gastric sleeve. My bmi is 39.5-39.7 so I do not meet the bmi requirement but I do have preexisting underlying conditions. I have pcos, osteoarthritis in my knees, migraines, acid reflux, fatty liver, mild mitral valve regurgitation, tricuspid valve disorder, and I am getting checked for sleep apnea. I have tried for years to lose weight with healthy eating etc and due to pcos I can't lose weight. Anyways is there anyone who got approved with a bmi under 40 with some of the comorbidities I have? I really want the sleeve surgery but am worried about being denied. I have bcbs California Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
