dizzy lizzy 1 Posted July 24, 2017 I'm meeting my surgeon Dr Dilemans ( Belgium ) the day before my surgery next week ( OMG NEXT WEEK!!!!)He has operated on a few people I know .During emails he has suggested I may be better with the gastric bypass rather than sleeve due to having a lap band that had to be removed ( nothing to do with band complication of other surgery ) He said the bypass works much better after the sleeve but I'm worried it's a more complicated operation and with a bmi of 31 is it necessary to go for the bypass ? What would you do ? 1 Deleted Account reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
