Has anyone gotten the sleeve with Dr. Fitzer? Seems like only does bypass curious if anyone has experience with the sleeve and him. -

Hi I am new and technically Pre-Op. Last August I got hyped about getting WLS but was told by the doctor’s office my insurance didn’t cover it. Long story short they do so I went to my consultation appointment end of Dec and my Dr recommends gastric vs sleeve bc it’s the golden standard and I have acid reflux that could worsen with the sleeve. I continued on with the nutritionists appts but I really haven’t put much effort into the process bc I don’t want gastric I feel it’s way more invasive than the sleeve but I don’t want to get the sleeve and be in worse pain than I have previously been. I manage my acid reflex so I get it here and there now. My dr says I don’t have to make a decision until closer to my surgery date but I’m so scared I’m make the wrong decision and regret the surgery. So I been going back and forth is this is really for me. But then I look in the mirror and feel the pain in my legs and know I need to have one of these surgeries. Helpppp! I have 1 more Appt with the nutritionist and my Psych evaluation so I am about 3 months out bc I have to wait 6 months.
