I am having the gastric sleeve. I have Kaiser and my doctor said unless there is a good reason like excessive heartburn he will not do the bypass as its results are too similar with the complications being much higher than the sleeve.

I chose sleeve because my BMI was 35 and I didn't think I needed the more drastic procedure. Plus, with the sleeve, you have fewer malabsorbtion issues, and if I ever needed another procedure, I can always have the bypass or mini bypass, but once you cross those bridges, you're done...nowhere to go after that.

I also chose a ds which is part bypass and part sleeve. Chose it because i have alot of weight to lose.

I had the sleeve done because my doctor said my heartburn wasn't severe enough for the bypass.

Bypass. It's the gold standard and because I had acid reflux.
