Hi all, I am just beginning my journey to a healthier me. I have my consultation on Friday and I am still toggling between the sleeve and bypass. I would love to hear your opinions and/or pros and cons if you're willing! Thanks in advance!!

I'm sleeved and I love it...

I'd recommend it to anyone who would benefit from it...

However...

I've no idea about your situation and would therefore not be making any recommendations...

You're better off talking to PROFESSIONALS who can give you advice based on research etc, rather than the (generally and mostly) anecdotal information here...

Welcome to the show...

Your Bariatric Team will go over both and you will all decide what's the best option. It depends on your health (are you diabetic), eating habits (do you only need restriction or malabsorption too), etc. I'm getting the sleeve.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
