    Any MAY sleevers???

    That's lazy I would have gone elsewhere.. I'll be going to see 3 surgeons before I decide and if they aren't experienced enough to show RNY I'll keep looking... But good luck

    Sounds like an easy process? I'm curious about ASHFORD. I'm looking at RNY BYPASS on the website says $4000 is that the only costs or did you have to pay for Dietician or anything else? 40kgs in 3 months? That's amazing how long was pre-op diet?? I'm leaning towards Ashford as they have their own GP and seems like easy process. I have BMI of 42 plus other co morbidities. I don't want to have to jump through hoops

    Weird Stuff That Delayed Your Surgery Approval

    Yeah we have access To Medicare if we meet certain criteria and willing to wait a few years on public list we could get free surgery but have to jump through hoops so it's easier for me to get private insurance to get surgery in 12 months

    Weird Stuff That Delayed Your Surgery Approval

    Feel sorry for you guys in America I've been told I only need one dietitian appointment before seeing the surgeon and I only got insurance for this surgery. In Australia we have public Medicare but that doesn't cover WLS it covers most everything else I've never paid for a GP in my life.
  17. Don't think of surgery just as weight loss. It's also the to change your whole metabolism and reset your body as well as make sure you have long term success. Losing weight isn't that hard. There's no magic. 7 years ago when everything in my life was great I lost 90lbs in 6 months all on my own. No surgery. I changed my diet drastically and went to the gym 7 days a week. My life was so different after weight loss. People were nicer. Girls actually gave me attention. But of course life happens and I've put it all back on plus 20lbs. So after a lot of research and self reflection I've decided RNY BYPASS is the only way forward. Not only to help maintain weight loss but too help me live longer with no health issues!! If you have the chance take it
  18. Tell me more what starting weight and end weight and how long to lose weight? I'm a tall man and I'm around 317 plan to be 180 but no less than that!
  19. Help does anyone know the major difference between the two. Anyone had the mini BYPASS/omega loop???

    RNY vs Mini bypass help

    Yeah I've done tons of research read many forums and feel RNY is the best choice! I've found 3 local surgeons that I'll be talking to soon and see how they approach the whole process before I decide who to go with...
  21. The is why people must do their research. I've spent months reading forums and articles before choosing RNY and I'm glad I have!
