I am also 29. I am 4 and a half weeks post-op and feel like the sleeve was the best decision of my life. I have lost 57lbs and, although I have struggled a lot with acid reflux, i feel great.
I originally chose the sleeve because portion control was my biggest problem. I do not have a sweet tooth which my surgeon suggests rny to remedy and have heard too many stories of lap band complications and failures.
As a younger wls prospect I did months of research on rny, vsg, and lap band. I watched YouTube videos and read hundreds of posts from wls veterans. The vitamin absorption issues with rny and the frequency of lap bands that required removal really set me on the sleeve.
