Yes, this is the opinion of my primary dr. on the team. I meet with my bariatric surgeon Monday and will discuss with him which procedure will benefit me the most. I have also heard that the sleeve has variances of nausea post-op, more so than the by-pass. I realize everyone is different but have heard this statement quite a bit ??? I'm comfortable with either procedure so my height doesn't create a dead end. It'll b okay either way ! I will know more after Monday. Thanks for the responses ! I hadn't read or heard that an individual's height could determine their procedure....hmmm......something to inquire about if unsure of the procedure for you maybe......
