help! I can't decide between gastric bypass and gastric sleeve! ugh..please share reasons why you chose...any pro n cons u wanna share is much appreciated!

Baggy skin also is based on genes, not just pounds lost and everyone body comp is diff so really cant guess based.on someone elses results. Im right there with you though, I hope I don't get it either, our at lost not bad because I lost a lot on optifast awhile ago and didhave somebaggage...

Another diff is the surgical aspect, the stomach is shrunk by surgery, the hunger hormone ghrelin is removed and the patient is following dietary guidelines from a doc/nutritionists to be protein rich, in anorexics, none of the above is true, anorexics are usually hiding their strict calorie cutting and deny it if asked. They have a psychoses about perceived body image and control so no, totally different indeed than wls!

Tieing would cause erosion and would be unsafe. There is the lapband which.is similar to tieing it off. The reason they never undue these surgeries is because they work by restricting your volume of food from several cups down to one.cup or less. If they opened it back up everyone would regain weight as fast as they lost it! It also sections off the part of the stomach that produces ghrelin, the hunger hormone, this helps control hunger in effort to help lose and maintain weightloss. The procedure doesn't make u anorexic at all, but maybe I misunderstood you, what did u mean by anorexic?

I'm in process of getting approval and trying to decide which one. Would love to hear feedback on why you sleeved. Thanks. And, any bad acid reflux issues, I hear that's one common deciding factor, is anyone having really bad acid reflux?

What was your before and after weight?
