My ex friend had that done....biggest mistake she still regrets it and her surgery was April 17th! She can't eat but a bite here and there and throws up all the time! She already has had an endoscopy and found out she's got gastritis which is the beginning of an ulcer! I watched her everyday struggle to eat the littlest thing.....after seeing what she's gone through I'm glad I had RNY instead of sleeve!

Ther reason why I went with the RNY is because you loose the most weight with RNY procedure, which is much more than the sleeve or the banding. I wanted the best bang for my buck !!!

I considered it, but RNY is better for my comorbidities.

RNY was the best option for me as well but...there may be specific reasons for your doctor recommending the sleeve that we obviously know nothing about. If you're not comfortable with his/her recommendation, you might want to consider getting a second opinion from another doctor. You also might want to check out Alex's sleeve forum (the same guy that runs this forum) at http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/. There's also a lot of info on the Net comparing the advantages and disadvantages of both surgeries. Congratulations on your decision to move forward!!

My PCP is the one that mentioned the sleeve, he said he had done some research on it and prefered it to RNY because there was less malapsorbtion issues. I havnt talked to my surgeon yet, I will meet with him next month and see what he has to say. They say there is less dumping with the sleeve but in some sick way I think I may need something like dumping to scare me from eating things i know i shouldnt! Keeping my options open and I will let you all know what my surgeon says! Thanks for all the comments btw!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
