Mini gastric bypass vs. Sleeve

[kinipela24 80]

I thought I was 100 percent set on getting the gastric sleeve as it seemed to e the "least invasive." However, I have been reading up on the mini gastric bypass and I am wondering if that would be better for me. I am 5'5 a little over 300 lbs with a BMI of 51 and wonder if I will be able to get to my goal weight at that size with just the sleeve alone. I have scheduled my surgery or June 14th for the sleeve but now I am wondering if I chose the right surgery. I do not suffer from acide reflux, I don't want it and of course I want the least amount of complications possible. I always dont want to have a second surgery if one doesnt go as planned. Feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had mini gastric bypass on 12/12/16 and I have lost almost 60 since surgery. My surgery weight was 247 lbs. I have had no complications. I think mini gastric bypass will work well for you. Weigh your options, the pros and cons.

with the mini gastric do you eat 5 small meals a day? do you get stuck like you do with the band? I'm looking into a revision from the band to not sure trying to get a lot of info on all the surgeries before I decide

If you have any doubt then consult your surgeon first.
