I am having a breast reduction surgery and liposuction on the abdomen and flanks this December. However, I am considering and planning on having a Gastric Sleeve. Would February 2023 be too soon to have another surgery? If not, how much time is safe and recommended for me to wait. I am 5'9' and 220lbs which puts my BMI at 32.
Hi. I'm 40 yrs old, height 5'4 and weight 222. I want to get the gastric sleeve ASAP and scared my insurance will not cover the surgery since my PCP is unavailable to support. I decided a tummy-tuck, lipo might be an option but I want to keep the weight off with a healthy lifestyle. Is it possible to fly to another state for the surgery; if I pay out of pocket? And what will be required?
Following a traumatic injury, I gained 80+ lbs over the course of two years. Ive recently recovered from my final spinal surgery and am ready to get my life back starting with weight loss surgery. Im self pay with a 35.6 BMI and was approved due to comorbidities. I am 211 lbs and would like to get back to 130. I was approved for a sleeve, but dont know that I can achieve desire results through that method. What can I expect with a sleeve and should I consider a bypass?
I'm 5'8, 213 lbs. No health conditions, not on any meds. I do 30-45 mins of cardio 4-5/week. Goal is to lose only 50 lbs (because I have always looked 30 lbs less than I actually weigh). I have been communicating with a clinic in Mexico that performs gastric sleeve surgeries. Only discussion we've had is regarding payment, and I still have many questions about long term consequences/ results of this procedure. I would like to know if the gastric sleeve procedure is the right choice for me.
I am considering getting the sleeve gastrectomy done. Im 37 yrs old, 5'7 and about 220 pounds. I've tried all kinds of diets and appetite suppressants. My dr wants me to take blood pressure medication and my knees are horrible. I feel like all the weight I have gained in the past 5 yrs is taking its toll. My goal weight is 160/170. Will I be able to lose that much or get close to it with the sleeve? I used the calculator and it says I would only lose about 36 pounds
i'm 25 years old tried all kind of diet or sport but I couldn't lose weight too much. Now my weight 222 pounds. Am I eligible to have sleeve gastrectomy surgery? I'm really afraid of loosing hair how can I avoid it? how many days I need after surgery to go back to work? I want to lose 77 pound
I am 26 years old and 52 and weight 220 Ive always been up and down with my weight I lost weight 2 years ago and gained it right back I have really bad back pain and my knees always hurt right at the joints so I qualify for the vgs surgery to be covered by my insurance?
