Hi all,
I am new to this group and was reccomended from my insurance to join.
At the beginning meeting with my surgeon he let me know he would be fine doing either surgery and that it was up to me to decide.
He said that with the bypass I would lose more with longer lasting results.
I am still undecided.
I wrote down pros and cons of both.
-The sleeve interests me because it feels like the safer option to go with.
I know a couple people that have had a lot of success with the sleeve.
I guess I am just stressed out because all of us are different and cant anticipate how it will go for us individually.
and if the sleeve does not give me the results i want i will regret it.
- do not want the weight to stall for long periods, I am the type of person that loses motivation without results.
Interested in the bypass
-because of the success rate being higher long term with keeping weight off.
-I also do not want to have a second surgery in case the sleeve does not work out.
which I have heard happens quite often.
-Do not want to have complications- and also cant afford really to be out of work for so long.
I am truly scared for the surgery itself and there being a problem during it, that maybe they looked over prior to going in surgery.
I recently had a friend pass away (unrelated) and it has caused me so much stress that I have not quite vaping.
I am about 3-4 weeks away and I'm nervous this will be an issue of having nicotine in my system.
Its freaking me out.
But also hard to stop..
I have heard so many different perspectives and opinions that I just feel lost and have no idea which will be best for me.
I just needed to let this out. and possibly be given feedback
thank you all happy to be in this group,
any advice is so appreciated
thank you
