Yep, I think I just literally made up my mind, bypass for me I'm 5'5" 1/2 n 300 ☆Jeni☆ Lol I threw up severely for mines. I would look at food and throw up. In and out of the hospital...lol but I ended up with a pretty cute kid so it balanced. I called the coordinator, waiting to hear back. Don't wanna lose only to possibly gain back. My surgeon tried very hard to talk me into band, told me I'd gain all the weight back. That I'd stretch my new stomach. That the band was better, easier. ???????????? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Mine was submitted on Wednesday and I have Blue Cross Blue Shield & I'm getting the sleeve . I already have a tentative surgery date .

CrissyCakes 110 Posted May 13, 2016 My mom had the bypass and she said if she could do it all over again if they had it 10 years ago she would have done the sleeve . Dumping syndrome and gas are the worst for herIsn't there a way to help with the dumping though? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betterme38 275 Posted May 13, 2016 @@CrissyCakes the dumping is a consequence of what your not suppose to be eating. To much sugar or even carbs n maybe fat I'm not 100% sure have read about it just not sure. If you don't eat that "bad" stuff you should be fine. As far as the sleeve I thought the same thing, you can eat all the stuff you used to just not as much supposing but I don't even wanna have that option as that's what git me where I am now, a bite here a bite there a lil this a lil that n well hello portions for 2 the bypass is more strict n thats what I know I need ☆Jeni☆ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I looked into it more, and I've decided to stick with the sleeve. Although it's like why not, I know it'll be approved and what's a couple more weeks ????????????
