LapBand VS Sleeve??
juliebynight replied to ghannouge's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You do what you need to do. This is for you and your the only one that needs to be happy. Your doing good. -
You need to check with Ins every Ins is not the same. For my ins for the sleeve you have to be over a BMI 40. I don't know how it is for cash. And how it is in Mexico. I know some go outside the US but I'm staying close to home. You really need to think this over very well. And check out the doctors too. Good Luck Julie

I was going for the band but after talking to the doctor we choose the RNY. The sleeve you really have to have a high BMI. I'm hoping my Ins pays for the RNY. The band seems to be right but after really talking about it we choose (I) choose the Y instead. You read about people being banded then going over to the Y. But it is really up to you really think things through you have to live with it. The Y they will put six wholes in you. It's not like before when they cut you open. Just think about it. Are you paying cash or ins? that can put some weight on what you go with too. Julie

Lap Band after Gastric By-pass????
juliebynight replied to Yarah's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Is there any place like this for RNY ? I like this place were everyone can talk and knows where you are coming from? My doctor wants me to get a RNY instead of a band with my health. Please help if you can.
