Has anyone had this issue where you treating counselor does not want state in the letter that she is clearing me for surgery???? This is the last step and I am frustrated that they might think I'm not a good candidate!! I'm morbid obese and have been preparing myself for this surgery!!! I have done research took a while to convince myself that I wanted to proceed with gastric bypass!! Any suggestions?? The last resort is my surgeon Doctor is going to talk to my treating counselor and see if he can convince her other wise I'm shyt out of luck I think or might have to find somebody else to clear me.

I'm curious why you are choosing bypass over sleeve?

Hi Ginsin,

The surgeon who hopefully will be doing my surgery highly recommended the gastric bypass, I have researched both and the one that will benefit me more is the gastric bypass, especially for my BMI that I have. I am done with everything except it's up to the treating counselor.

Thanks, was just wondering. I know in my original seminar I would say out of 20 maybe just one considered bypass. When I talked to Dr. at consult I asked about why people choose bypass. I have know a few bypass and sleevers, oh and 3 lap banders (as I call them). My BMI is 55. Ugh

May I weigh in ? I HAVE to go RnY as I have nasty GERD and a moderate hiatus hernia. I've been told sleeve is open tube so what went down erps back up. I already have a cardiac sphincter with no sense of responsibility why sleeve and compound it? Plus a 45 BMI and an age of 70 1/2, that's is is my best fit. ???? Rosey posey

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
