Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 mini gastric bypass Hello Dr. I have a question about the mini gastric bypass, is it the same as the gastric sleeve? If not, what is the difference? I had a gastric sleeve done last July'06 and have only lost only 40 lbs and am stuck at 200lbs. I had the procedure done in Tijuana and now fear I made a terrible mistake in choosing that. I am considering now looking into gastric bypass.But without medical insurance I want to know what my options are.I feel ashamed that I have not lost anymore weight than that. It is hard to explain to family and friends. Is my story typical of the gastric sleeve procedure?? I would appreciate some information and an idea in cost for the mini's. Thank you and any information wil be helpful. Rita E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I have been reading daily on Dr. R's web site and I feel very excited about this surgery vs. any others. So why do I feel so scared!!!! I look at the success stories and I can hardly breathe. My insurance will not cover so I am a self-pay. I hope there is someone out there that can sympathize with me. I see myself as a thin person but I feel held back for some reason. Fear that I fail this attempt too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
