New to the group Bypass or Sleeve?

[nightcheese 3]

My surgeon said the choice is mine but did recommend bypass because I have terrible heartburn/reflux, which apparently can get worse with the sleeve.

Hey everybody. My name is Delores or @neenee. I go for my initial consultation on Monday the 9th. I'm super excited to start this journey! I was told about this forum last night at a car dealership of all places! He's the one who geared me toward sleeve. After I've read just a few medical website details, I'm convinced this is the one for me!

@@NEENEE congratulations in taking the next step in your weight loss journey. I'm leaning towards the sleeve as well. Good luck in your journey and know that you are not alone.

@@nightcheese my surgeon said the same thing but I don't not have any current health problems so leaning towards the sleeve.

I'm choosing the sleeve because I take a lot of medications and don't want to play around with malabsorption and all the dosage adjustments that would entail.

I'm from Argentina and I'll have a gastric sleeve.

Here the surgeon chooses which surgery works best for each patient, it's not for us to choose though I'd have chosen the sleeve if I was asked, mainly because recovery seems to be fastest and complications less.
