    The surgeon kept saying with bypass you won't have to take your medication but with the sleeve it will take some time before I can stop. I think I'm going to go with my first mind to do the sleeve.

    Thank you, I'm going to talk to another surgeon because that threw me off. I asked about losing too much weight with the bypass she said well you can always gain a little back if you lose too much.

    That's what I'm going to do because I want to make the best decision. I have osteoarthritis and I take NSAID and with the bypass you can never take that again.

    Weird insurance question!

    I went to my appointment today I asked and she said I can let you know closer to surgery. I know I will have to pay upfront but I got confused because the one nurse kept saying the deductible but then she said I'm not the insurance guru.

    This confuses me because my deductible is a $1000 and out of pocket max is $3500. I know I have to pay something upfront just don't know if it will be $1000 or the $3500.

    That's the first I've heard of that everything I've read doesn't mention anything like that. The complications of bypass compared to the sleeve is my biggest issue.

    Was there a wait period with your insurance? I am nervous about the out of pocket cost. My deductible is $1000 and max out of pocket is $3500 which includes the $1000. My insurance company said some are willing to let you pay it out but others want the full amount upfront.

    I am going through the bariatric pilot program it's a 6 months program. If approved I will be eligible for surgery in July. I have been looking at Saline Memorial Bariatric Center for gastric sleeve.
