Tiale 20 Posted May 3, 2017 Thank you everyone for the support on the steps! Sucked it up and pulled through it and all the hard work paid off. Yesterday I was approved for surgery and have to meet with my surgeon. They want to do surgery by the end of this month or in June. I'm excited and scared at the same time. They are talking about doing the sleeve if I don't agree it'll be RNY. I know everyone's outcome is different. I just want a procedure where I'll be successful in. I would love to lose about 90lbs, it's just will this procedure be effective for me. I know RNY is really invasive, and a lot of people is recommending it. Right now I'm 210 and I'm 4'7....so I'm still a bit indecisive lol. Anyways THANK YOU everyone for the and support I really needed it and y'all came through!!

ambergene 12 Posted May 3, 2017 I just got my sleeve a week ago, and since I started my diet 3 weeks ago I have been able to drop 30 pounds already! I love my sleeve. I'd recommend trying that first. 2 Misha42000 and SunshineLady49 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! I guess I will stick with it [emoji5] was a bit hesitant after a talk with some amazing people that had RNY. I love everything about the sleeve, it's just I over think things.

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted May 3, 2017 I think RNY might be a good option for you because of your size and the risk of another surgery later on if the sleeve isn't enough, maybe even the DS might be a good option for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want to be realistic and I want to keep the weight off. I know I'm going to have to work, just like you said I don't want to have a revision. Is it a good idea to ask if they could remove my gallbladder? I know some people do good on the sleeve, but me I know my weakness which is sweets and fats (been cutting it out). I don't want to be an idiot and see the progress, and end up slipping.Sent from my LGLS770 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The doctor will have to prove it is medically necessary (you have gallstones) in order to justify it. If you have not had an ultrasound then you might try and see if you have any and then have the surgeries jointly. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
