Nov 5th here scheduled for the sleeve' date=' but i'm going to change to RNY. And, probably change the surgery day to a Monday if I can. I'm going from band to RNY.... band just sucks.[/quote']myI hear you I have the band too and I hate it! I'm scheduled for a revision to the bypass November 4th. Didn't want the sleeve because the results aren't much better then the band. And I was told by my surgeon's assistant me I may only loose another 20 to 30 lbs. So I want the RNY because I need to loose at least 60 lbs or more.

Good luck. I hope you get to change it.

Morning' date=' I'm new, I have a surgery date but need to decide either sleeve or bypass, any advice?[/quote']

Hi Rita,

It is really up to you to chose what is the right one for you. Everyone is different. I'm having a revision from the band. And I like the weight loss percentage of the bypass over the sleeve. Also, the sleeve is a newer procedure and they don't know what the long term affects are yet. Visit the sleevetalk.com site and get more information there. This is a very important step in our lives we are taking so you have to make sure you know all there is to know about each surgery and never be afraid to ask questions. I hope this helps. Good luck with your choice.

Im in NY CW: 262 surgery date 11/6/13

I weigh 225 but what I am most excited about the surgery is a cure for my diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and reflux. I can't believe how wonderful it would be to wake up and not have to take a container full of medication. In my support group a lady with diabetes, taking 11 diabetes pills a day, left the hospital only taking 1 pill and that was only because of such an extreme family history of diabetes.

Also, looking good in pants wont hurt!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
