Pre-surgery

[swimmom2008 1]

Hi I'm new. I have started all the pre-surgery requirements. Now I must make the big decision as to which procedure will suit me best. I am leaning towards the bypass but not sure. Would any one be willing to share experiences from both the sleeve and the bypass. Thanks in advance

I am just speaking for me but I had the sleeve 7 years ago because my surgeon convinced me to get it although I wanted the bypass so I obliged.

6 days ago I had a revision from sleeve to bypass. I developed really bad GERD & experienced regain. And weird enough I had lost mos of my restriction. I could eat a lot of Protein and never feel my restriction. My GERD was so bad that I was burping just from taking a sip of Water when I first woke up

I originally wanted the bypass because it gave me restriction and malabsorption; and I have over 100 lbs to lose. Now I have seen people lose over 100+lbs with the sleeve but it just wasn’t for me.

Just discuss your wants/desires with weight loss/health with your doctor and let them help you make a decision. I wish you luck!

Hey Bryn910! How are you feeling? My surgeon also tried to convince me to get the sleeve. I wonder why they do that. I just knew that the sleeve wasn’t for me as well. I’m glad I stuck with my decision. Hope your doing well.

Hi! I am doing well, starting to feel like my old self. Just really tired, not sleepy, but just fatigued. Like yesterday I did some minor cleaning and I felt exhausted lol.

I am think doctors prefer sleeve because of less complications? I am not sure. But yea, so far I am happy with my revision. I will know the real deal once I start eating food again
