jcbrittain2 18 Posted March 21, 2015 Hi Harley good to me you. I do have a question for you guys. Why did you pick getting the sleave over v the bypass I chose the sleeve because it's less invasive. Also, down the road if something happens to me and I need to take certain medications, my doctor said you have more option with taking pills with the sleeve over the bypass. Just a few reasons why I chose the sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emalou47 29 Posted April 6, 2015 Hi all I am 25 from the UK and was sleeved on 17th March and I can honestly say it was the best thing I have ever done. . It is difficult as the cravings that are in your head are still there but if you are strong you can do well. So far I have lost 3 stone which is more then I expected. Good luck to all those going for the surgery and if anyone wants to ask any questions or needs any support contact me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted April 6, 2015 I chose the sleeve because I did not want my gut rerouted with a bypass, and did not want a port in my belly with a band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emalou47 29 Posted April 6, 2015 That's the same reason I chose the sleeve... less complications and similar results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
