Does anyone regret getting the sleeve and wish they had the bypass?

Thank you to everyone that has replied to my question. My surgery is Tuesday and I was having a lot of doubts if I made the right decision to go for the sleeve over the bypass. I'm much more content with my decision now thanks to you guys.

For me it was a question of complication rates. A few pounds quicker loss was of little consequence because I would eventually reach my goal weight. I felt the complication rates for bypass vs sleeve were just too great. My surgeon and I also both felt my initial weight didn't warrant the bypass.

I believe there are a quite a few variables in deciding and a competent surgeon can help guide you to the surgery that will help increase your long-term weight loss success vs possible complications.

My surgeon pointed out that it depends on the person. Most of the time sleeve and bypass rates are the same. Sometimes sleeves are more, sometimes bypass is more. I'll take absorbing my nutrients through my food

I'm 27 days post op and lost 20lbs. That's not slow ! I even had a week stall !
