Malabsorption of Vitamins and such and the fact that with the sleeve, the digestion process isn't changed drastically were all big factors for me.

@@solmedina Oh good maybe they will be able to tell you which is more fitting for you. My surgeon pretty much said sleeve! I thought I Would be getting RNY and he said sleeve would be much better for me. I think it's ultimately up to you though. The more I researched the sleeve the more I agree he is right. I just don't Know anyone with a sleeve only RNY thus is the reason I joined this site!

I went with the sleeve because I did not want my plumbing rerouted or have a port in my abdomen.

Same for me. I liked the idea that the basic digestion process was the same and that my insides weren't completely rearranged. Luckily, my doctor also thought thought the sleeve was a good choice for me.
