GB vs Sleeve

[betterme38 275]

Ok so I am 5' 5" 1/2 I weigh 312 and I was thinking I wanted the sleeve, now I'm thinking maybe the GB.

I'm so confused! I am on meds for HBP, and Prozac for anxiety plus Water pills to help with BP.

I am not pre diabetic I do like sweets though just not all the time. I think my thing is breads n pastas and not moving enough obviously.

Just needing some input from some that have had this done and if you was debating what did you choose and why. Also I will be getting my surgeon's advice just looking for others also. Thank you

I love my choice but one surgery isn't better than the other. You need to talk with your surgeon, be honest with yourself as to how you got to where you are now and what you are willing to do or not do post op to comply with aftercare requirements. Those are the only views that matter.

Hi Betterme! My surgery is Wednesday! Can't wait. This is what my doc told me. Sleeve is easier and less time to recoup, not like the GB where they reroute the intestine. For me it was only a difference of 12 pounds more with the GB. So the choice was easy.... Sleeve
