I had thought about which surgery to have also. My doctor suggested bypass due to better results and since I have heard. He said my heartburn may get worse with the sleeve. I have a father in law that had bypass several years ago and he still has problems with vomiting, diarrhea. I chose the sleeve and haven't had single problem. I am so glad I did this. 53 lbs down since July.

If you currently have significant GERD, you should choose bypass. Moderate diabetes also responds better to bypass (but mild and severe are fine with the sleeve). If you want the best shot at dumping, bypass. Otherwise, the sleeve is a very good procedure. (To me, sleeve should be the default, except when these other conditions are present). The weight loss differences between sleeve and bypass aren't really that significant.

I choose the sleeve because it was a less intrusive surgery. Six weeks out and I'm off all my diabetes meds and my blood pressure med was reduced. Down 29lbs so far.
