Thanks for sharing. I'm terrified that I won't like how I look afterwards, particularly the loose skin part. I feel like I won a hard fought battle to accept and love myself when I gained weight, and now I feel a little bit like a hypocrite.....as if I'm saying I'm not good enough just the way I am.

I think you should consider the amount of weight you have to lose. Sleeve has a slightly lower weight loss rate, but it also has a much lower rate of complications. I want to avoid the possibility of dumping syndrome or diarrhea so I opted for the sleeve. I also had concerns about the malabsorption issues with bypass. It really comes down to trusting your instinct. Your surgeon may be an expert in the field but YOU are an expert on you. Best of luck regardless of what you decide. Sent from my iPhone

I'm an immigrant from Mexico. I grew up eating all the "wrong", yet delicious things my mom cooked. Anyone out there with a similar experience who can share how they cope with this new lifestyle? Sent from my iPhone
