Thank you all for your input! My doc leans toward the sleeve and has never had a patient leave the hospital still taking diabetes medicine. My biggest concern is that I have a disabled mother that I care for so recovery time is my top priority. My second concern is that I have trouble with portion control and I want to set myself up for the best possible outcome. Thank you all for responding Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How did you decide which surgery was right for you? I'm very new to this and I'm not really sure what the difference is Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine is 6 months. Monthly pcp visits, 3 psych evals, twice monthly dietitian, pt and psychologist visits. I also have to lose 5 percent of my weight Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I too am in Spokane. I just started and it's very nerve racking Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! They said I may be able to do multiple appointments each month so fingers crossed! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Anyone in Washington state going through Molina? I was just approved but they said it takes a year? Once a month visits to dietitian and pt for 12 months. Seems like a long time Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
