gretcheng 0 Posted March 22, 2015 I am from Fargo, ND and am waiting for insurance approval. I was so elated and now the ball is really rolling I am so nervous about the unknown. I have tried everything to prepare myself before hand and now it's happening I am in disbelief... I know there are a lot of changes I am going to have to make... and a lot of changes my husband is making... I haven't yet expressed my nerves to him... and I think he has some reserves about it... I am getting the gastric bypass which he was shocked because he thought I was getting the sleeve. I am 330, 5'8, f and 25 years old.. both my parents got the sleeve and he thought that's what I was getting as well... I have always tried to watch what I eat...as I am sure all you know what this struggle is like and what reasons brought you all to this point... I hope I get over these nerves! Just had to vent a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
innwtitdtity 57 Posted March 23, 2015 Good luck! Hopefully your approval will go smoothly and you will have a date soon. I too chose the BP even though initially I chose the sleeve. I had the band for 6 years and only lost 30 pounds at my best. When I decided to have a revision I started to research and the BP has the best results documented. I didn't want to chance the need for another revision so I chose BP. Keep preparing yourself and all will be good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
