Sleeve or bypass? Please give me advice!



Recommended Posts

You can't depend on dumping. You might not ever dump, and even if you do, you might only dump in the very beginning.

The reason your Dr said they are the same, is because long term, they basically are the same. You have to do the work, you can eat around a sleeve or the bypass.

If people don't change how they think about food and your eating habits, people can fail with either. Long term it doesn't matter what you have.

I was originally leaning for rny but my doctor refused to perform it at my weight and gave me an option of mini bypass or sleeve (both under anesthesia for much less time) i choose the sleeve as there are more revision options if necessary

Yes, I feel this so much. You have to do the work. I am in the in the beginning of my 6 month supervised diet... and I am learning to work.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
