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......

I visited with my dr. earlier this week and I just came out and asked which procedure in your medical opinion would work for me ? After all the cards where on the table he told me in all honesty since I lacked in height that the sleeve may not b the best option for me. I'm 5'3 and he said there is a possibility there is not enough room for them to do the sleeve. Anyone ever had this problem arise ? I'm not favoring one procedure over the other it was just a question I thought needed to be answered. Well guess I got my answer. I visit with my surgeon Monday and he will tell me what is best (medically) for me considering all the factors.
