Gastric Sleeve over Gastric Bypass / Switch?
offmyrocker replied to offmyrocker's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
WOW, congrats and great job on the weightloss for those who have posts with that included. Thank you all for sharing your info. I am pretty sure I want the sleeve now. I had yet another dr for the upper gastro test tell me today she would highly recommend the sleeve as well. She discussed some of the complications with the other two surgeries. I will be scheduling the actual surgery for May. Thanks again all. Looking forward to learning more from members here. I just ordered Alex Brecher's book - The BIG Book on the GASTRIC SLEEVE. -
Gastric Sleeve over Gastric Bypass / Switch?

Thank you both for your reply. And, Congratulations on your weightloss. Joatsaint, I agree with you about the whole rerouting thing, which is one reason I mentioned the sleeve as my choice. The Dr did say that it was ultimately my choice. -
Gastric Sleeve over Gastric Bypass / Switch?
offmyrocker replied to offmyrocker's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My bariatric Dr wants me to get the switch or bypass. I was looking into the sleeve. I am 5'8" and 300lbs with type II diabetes, high blood preasure and triglycerides, sleep apnea. Has anyone else with these health issues chose the sleeve instead? If so, how did your results turn out?
