Bypass instead of sleeve

[Jamie Murray 19]

I had intended on getting the sleeve but after my scope we decided on full bypass. I am still very excited and nervous but can't wait till the day i can buy normal size clothes and have more energy.

Why did you decide on bypass -- what did the scope show? (if you don't mind sharing...) -- I'm still trying to decide between sleeve and bypass -- thanks!

Scope found small non cancerous nodule thats getting removed next week just for precaution but my bi op showed severe acid damage to lining of stomach. So my doc said with the reflux issues the sleeve could cause me worse issues with more reflux,nausea and possibly vomiting. I trust him very well so i said ok lets do it lol

Makes sense, thanks for replying -- and best of luck!

Had my second scope today to remove a nodule,it was as easy as the first. Getting closer im excited but nervous i am almost caffein free.

Well had a long talk with my doc today and the risk of my nodule returning later on down the road my options now are having the sleve and staying on omeprazole or getting full by pass and him removing the remaining stomach since i will need yearly scopes.
