I think I have decided to go with the VGS instead of GB!! In the beginning stages that's what I wanted, then changed my mind!! After talking with my surgeon at my visit today I think I have gone back with my original plan!! Any suggestions anyone else had or is going to have sleeve, talk to me!!!! :):):)

Just remember with the sleeve they take out the old stomach, and if you had to undo it for some reason its easier to reverse it with gastric bypass, and the sleeve you can't, the easiest to remove is the lap band, but they have been having problems with lap band. With it getting detached or tangled, but if your heavier and have a lot to lose gastric bypass or the sleeve is the better way to go.

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

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
