Has anyone thought they should have gotten the bypass over the sleeve?

I'm thinking I should have because I'm afraid to crave carbs again.

No, for me the sleeve was the right decision. I did not want to worry about the dumping syndrome you get with the bypass, but that is me. Someone else could be absolutely fine with the bypass

I’m 5 days out. I don’t believe the different surgery would have made a difference in your cravings. The surgery doesn’t change that. Your tastes in some foods will change though so that may help. You would have the same worries at this point with either surgery.

Just over a year out and i love my sleeve. And believe it or not i may not dump but when i go off the rails i crash HARD. And when i say crash i mean i get nauseous, lightheaded, dizzy, and generally feel like im gonna die lol. I feel like that any time i eat a lot of carbs or sugar. It happened with half a slushy over the summer. There was so much sugar in it i got sick and had to lie down. Sometimes i have a bathroom emergency aswell. I never considered my tolerance for carbs or sweets would change but they have and it only helps cement the fact that i HAVE to stick to a more balanced plan if i don't want to passout in the middle of the street from eating too much of the wrong thing. It's even happened with bananas. I LOVE my sleeve and everything it has taught me and keeps teaching me about my body and this process.

I noticed the more good for me things i eat the more i want them. I'm also faster to choose the things that are going to give me long lasting results. Off i choose the right foods ill be full for several hours. If not ill be hungry an hour later or have heartburn. Not a hard choice lol. Besides sometimes it's not up to you. You just gotta see how you tolerate things.

I would not have had the surgery personally if I couldn't have the sleeve. The whole idea of malabsorption made me very uncomfortable. I have found that I just don't have a taste for sweet things anymore now post surgery. It is likely more a mental thing but it works for me.
