Anyone wishing they would have had gastric bypass instead of sleeve?



Recommended Posts

Absolutely not!! I'm 4 1/2 month out and down 62 lbs (20 pre-op/42 post). Slower weight loss than I want but all of our bodies are different & I'm just thrilled to be losing.

I love my sleeve. I know several people that had the bypass and had lots of problems including having surgery again due to complications. I had my surgery July 26th and have lost 50 lbs, which is the same amount of weight my bypass friends had at this point after their surgery.

Definitely not, I love my sleeve and what it had allowed me to do!! My sleeve is just a tool and not a magic wand.... In order for this to work you have to put in the effort. I have lost 97 lbs in 11 months and couldn't be happier.

I have no regrets since having the sleeve done. I am 7 months post op and have lost about 150 pounds, and that is without exercising about 3 months.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
