Why did you choose sleeve over bypass?

I was reading that is takes 30 days for the hunger hormone to be out of your system or lose effect, rather... Who knows.. All's I do know is that I'm 2 weeks post-op and the physical hunger feeling is coming back.. I'm dealing with head hunger but I know it's physical as well. I'm hoping that goes away soon.

I had hunger right away. The thing is, it is wayyyy less than before the sleeve. Also now, I'm back to feeling satisfied which constant hunger didn't allow for. I was either full or hungry...no in between.

I do have a friend that was successful with RnY. While she would have liked the sleeve, she wanted the fast loss of RnY. She has had no complaint and no regain to date (almost 4 years out).

I think this person's blog post sums it up for me:

I chose sleeve because I read allot about the pouch stretching and all the weight coming back. second with the sleeve they take out the area that produces grenlin which is a hormone that causes hunger. Third Bypass has long term malabsorption issues with fat soluble Vitamins.And finally which is biggest reason why I choose sleeve the anatomy of our intestines. With the sleeve it is not really changed or rerouted like bypass. Good luck to you on which ever procedure you choose
