Well, went today and the surgeon suggested sleeve for a few reasons. No absorbtion or dumping issues as with RNY, minimal follow up, no rearranging of the spinchter muscle (yuk) right choice for my weight loss goals, great results - I guess my stomach will be the size of a banana??

Actually a bit smaller! Each doc uses different French Boguie sizing (a way to measure how big your stomach is...). My doctor is amazing and actually has an entire youtube channel dedicated to explaining, and showing things, and answering questions. It was SOOOOOOOOOO valuable to go through all his stuff before surgery. Take a look! : http://www.youtube.com/user/Endobariatric

Good Luck!

Stomach sizes vary somewhat - the length of the stomach is a variable too...the endo channel above is good. I have seen some of the videos.
