danithomas 75 Posted January 9, 2017 Just have to pay the surgeon 's fee and I can schedule..... Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Just curious how much is the Bypass vs the Sleeve? I'm asking because they are changing my request from the Sleeve to the Bypass. The insurance company covers both but it just needs to be approved.

dottiewalker1127 9 Posted January 9, 2017 I have my surgery date for January 23, less than 2 weeks away now. Today, I started my pre op liquid diet. It's hard , but I have to keep my focus on why I'm doing this! Good luck to everyone! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbuczkowski 272 Posted January 9, 2017 I believe it depends on the surgeon's office but I'm a self-pay so it's $2,500 more expensive for the bypass Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
