Little nervous, have everything set and ready to go but the surgeons office submitted aproval for gastric bypass with a 6 day stay in hospital :/

I want to have VSG not RnY. I wander if they just submit the most invasive just to see ? I have not seen surgeon in months. He said at that time , I didn't need to make a decision on what kind of bariatric surgery I wanted. I was still on the fence at that time .

Going to all office first thing Monday but has this happened to anyone else?

Go for the sleeve if you can. I was done on may 1st down 45 lbs. I am also an RN and the bypass has too many side effects. I have taken care of people with issues and work with several. Girls who had it and have had problems. The sleeve only makes your stomach smaller think about it

Just curious what came of this?

I called bariatric coordinator this morning & she said it should be fine because I was already approved for RNY , they will just resubmit for sleeve. So stay tooned :/ I do not want Rny & hope all goes well with sleeve approval.
