I had my 1st appointment today. Had kind of decided I would get a bypass but after meeting with my surgeon she said the sleeve is the best for me. Did not even discuss the bypass. Which is ok with me I was not set on one or the other wanted to rely on the doctor expertise. However I had a real set back. I have to get a surgeon for my diverticulitis which surprised me and enlightened me. I knew I was having episodes way more than I should but did not realize how dangerous it is. So I have to go to a colon rectal surgeon to see if surgery is called for in my case. So when I left I called and made my appointment for Thursday. If surgery is needed then it will set my surgery back 2 to 3 months. I think it may be a blessing I went there just because I didn't not realize of serious the diverticulitis can be. So if nothing else I am grateful for that. But my journey has begun and it is so exciting and scary.

I hope and pray everything works out great for you! Congrats on getting your journey started too. Sometimes we start one thing and realize we need to take care of another (or a bunch) to get our bodies healthy again. Do what you need to to get everything working as it should or best it could. If you need to wait a few months, then it'll be a blessing due to just getting prepared and healthy altogether! 😊 Keep us updated! We're here to encourage and cheer you on!

I think with any wls you've got the chance to gain it back. All depends on your lifestyle afterwards. My sister had the bypass and gained everything plus more back. Didn't take care of issues and habits beforehand. My opinion, any can be successful. Just have to work hard at it still.
