Take a look at one of the surgeries on You Tube. It only makes a sleeve because it takes off the large bulge part of your stomach. Everything else remains the same unless you have a hiatal hernia that needs fixing and that is only closing up a hole. I may be over simplifying, but you get the idea. Good luck with your choosing.

Up at the top of this page, click on RESOURCES, then INFORMATION then BACKGROUND ON WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. You should find an explanation there of different kinds of bariatric surgery. I hope this helps.

They really should call it "the banana" because that's what you're left with. Do some internet searches on "vertical sleeve gastrectomy" and you'll learn all about it. Then find a bariatric surgeon in your area and go to one of their information seminars. That should give you the info you need to make a decision about whether or not to proceed. Good luck!
