HELP! Have LapBand need Gastric Sleeve
Determined in Florida replied to Tim C's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, I'm 50 yrs old. Had the lapband 2014, removed april 2020 due to extreme slippage. I lost was 500lbs hw current 310lbs. I'm starting the process next month to have the sleeve. I have about 160lbs to lose. I was so sick from Jan to Apr, vomiting. Not able to eat or drink. By the time I got my lapband removed i was severally dehydrated and septic. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days. I feel getting the sleeve is my best option -

Why did you choose the surgery you had/will have?
Determined in Florida replied to KlaPV's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've done alot of research and still researching till my surgery. I had the lapband for 6 yrs with a total weightloss of 200 pounds. It slipped this year and had to be removed. So I am doing the gastric sleeve over bypass for many reasons. 1. Less invasive than bypass. 2. One of my best friends had the bypass and had alot of problems and made me promise to never get the bypass. I know I will have success with the sleeve.my surgeon has a great after surgery support program. -
Is anyone familiar with this insurance? I meet with the surgery coordinator and one of the drs in about 3 weeks to go over what exactly my insurance requires.

Has anyone had their gastric sleeve surgery done by Dr. Jesse at Suncoast Bariatrics in S. Pasedena Florida? Would love to hear from you. Thank you
