That makes perfect sense. It may well be the direction I end up going as I continue to research. The challenge for me is all this time before even meeting the dr means I just keep researching and thinking.

Ive been torturing myself going back and forth, being intimated by the bypass, and will likely continue to do so until the day of my surgery.

But I know it's the best option ultimately, so what the heck

Saw my doctor yesterday and he suggested I get the band removed and get the bypass instead of sleeve cause of my intolerable acid reflex..will need to

Do research as I don't know if I want to do the bypass

Well statistically a sleeve will make reflux worse. Whether you want to do a bypass or not is a different story, but doing a sleeve with bad GERD is a bad idea

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
