Jess55 97 Posted December 23, 2016 I've heard when some ones weight is over a certain point, it may not be safe to do bypass completely, so they do a sleeve (or maybe just make their stomach smaller). Then after they've lost a bit and it's safer they do the bypass part, where they bypass part of the intestines. Maybe that's what they meant Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindy78 372 Posted December 23, 2016 I believe they are they right. Most people on that show end up getting sleeves I think Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Middus 491 Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Well, the sleeve originated as part of the duodenal switch procedure (which has a bypass component), so she probably had a sleeve gastrectomy.
