I'm scheduled for Dec 2nd!

Hellow I'm new here. I'm in the process of having weight loss surgery . With my insurance I have to do 6 months Dr supervised diet before surgery, which I'll be done with next month. My question is should I have bypass or sleeve? I always thought that sleeve is for "medium" overweight people and gastric bypass is for "large" overweight people. I'm 37 and I weigh 375...I've lost 50 lbs so far. Im afraid to have the sleeve because it's less invasive and then not be as successful as I could have been with bypass... Any opinions?

Thank you to everyone for your input. I have researched it its just a big decision that I want to be sure about. You've all given me a lot to think about.

As far as birth control...I did depo and gained weight. My dr suggested the Nexplanon implant. It goes in your arm, it's like a little plastic stick and it lasts for 3 years. It was a little more painful but but worth it and it doesn't cause weight gain.
