I have PCOS and I am having the sleeve done. My surgeon believes this will be the best surgery for my PCOS and liver. My girlfriend had the bypass and she cannot eat anything without dumping several times. However, when she had her surgery, the sleeve wasn't popular like it is now. Everyone's experience is different and I would listen to my surgeon. You can always get a second opinion though.

Wow I've never heard of someone dumping with every meal. I wonder if it is a surgical mistake?
I wish I knew so I could help her

The sleeve doesn't take longer st the hospital I went to however the hospital I went to is a center for excellence and they go well above any regulations-

Anything thing to think about is the fact that with the sleeve you have an extremely long staple line which can take some time to do- the hospital I used goes back and does a hand sewn reinforcement over the staple line of the sleeve and hasn't ever had a leak reported in all the years their program has been going on-

In bypass you don't have the insanely long staple line where it's critical it be perfect to prevent leaks - however I believe the going back and reinforcing whatever work is done causes the bypass to be longer at the hospital I used -

What does her doctor say? I hope she's been back or gone to someone for a secon opinion. That should definitely not be happening.

She has been back to her doctor multiple times & I can't say for certain what they have decided for her.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
