Yes, this is some evidence that the sleeve is harder for people with GERD, but I do know some people with GERD have the sleeve anyway. Maybe it depends on severity??
I choose the sleeve for the same reasons everyone else mentions, I was barely BMI 40 with no other health issues. The idea of being under anesthesia much less time appealed to me.
My first surgeon's visit he asked me what I thought I want, I said sleeve, he said good choice. Had my surgery on Halloween and very happy!
That's good, good for you! How long did you have to wait before you had surgery?
