i was very torn between the two also. I was told because I am so over weight that the bypass would work better for me. However, after MUCH MUCH research and having family members have the bypass I have decided to get the sleeve. Fewer health risk, faster recovery, and sooner you can get back to your NEW normal life. My aunt had the bypass over a year ago she still has many many issues and she looks unhealthly in general. She and a few other members of my family have had the bypass and they all told me to get the sleeve and they wish they would have gotten the sleeve.

Sleeve all the way for me. I didn't want to deal with the problems that come with a bypass - like greater risk of leaks because they're rerouting my intestines! Less choice in what I can eat, too. While I might have lost more weight faster with a bypass I can't complain about what I've lost so far.

Hey hopes all goes well. I had heard bypass is the fastest on lossing weight but gives u health problem later on in life. I guess the sleeve does work better in still getting info on the sleeve just to be sure

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
