Def bypass...the sleeve does not resolve GERD in fact some sleeves pts it worsened...the sleeve is fairly new so long term results are not out theee yet. Finally sleeve is generally first op of two as larger patients get the sleeve then a yr or 2 yrs later get the bypass. At 260 lbs GERD..tg no diabetes it was a no brainer to go bypass...after all my research...Im 9 days post op...had a grest mexican dr....dr.f. garcia..am healing fairly well...no regrets....gl

I had my endoscope yesterday and found out I'm not a candidate for sleeve. My surgeon recommended we do bypass instead. Apparently my hiatal hernia is do large half my stomach is sitting on top of my diaphragm. Since reading this forum I'm feeling better about the bypass, so thank you all for sharing your experiences.

My sister was sleeved 8 months ago so I wanted to do the same. Now I realize how unique each of our decisions must be. I say go with your surgeon and medical teams' advice. They know you best.

Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery! ????
