To Sleeve or Not to Sleeve

[shellnsons 7]

Hello guys I am hearing that you do not loose as much weight with the sleeve as you do with the Duodenal Switch. Is this true? what made you choose the sleeve out of the other surgeries...Honest Thoughts?

thanks

I am not ready for that kind of drastic surgery. I have the rest of my life in front of me, and I do not have the finances to cover the Vitamin regiment that DS surgery requires. Also, the VSG fits. It fits my lifestyle, my budget, and I think I can succeed with it.

I would have never given consideration to DS or RNY. I have ulcerative colitis so I did not want my intestines touched in any way. I was considering the band at first but my doc recommended the sleeve because of my colitis, and after I did all my research I knew the sleeve was what I wanted.
