Hi my surgery is scheduled for Dec.15. I went for my pre-op and to sign the consents and my surgeon wanted to change my surgery tithe sleeve. I am some what questioning my choice. He really could not give me a good reason to change.

That would be very frustrating for me. My dr told me she strongly recommended against sleeve for me because I had bad acid reflux but even with her encouraging the bypass, I had to research it and come to the decision on my own. I would want the dr to explain in detail why they feel sleeve is better for me specifically than my initial choice. I would suggest calling on Monday and saying you want to discuss.

Totally agree with Daisee.

I spoke with him again yesterday and expressed my concern and confusion. He then told me it was my choice. I just really do not like the idea of removing 2/3

I had acid reflux something horrible before surgery. My surgeon asked me what I wanted to do and I told him the gastric bypass. His reply was ok,so that is what I did. I still struggle with eating too fast and have to tell myself to slow down. You need to do what is comfortable for you and ask questions if you don't understand something. Good luck.
