By-pass vs ßleeve?

[veisor 5]

Has anyone struggled making the decision between a by-pass vs Sleeve?

I went to the surgeon thinking I was going to be a vsg patient.

Doctor suggested I do the RNY instead because of GERD and the fact that I have problems with the lap band.

I was not expecting him so say that so it took me awhile to wrap my mind around RNY.

I suggest you do a lot of reading and it should help you make the decision you are comfortable with.

I was pretty sure I wanted bypass, but both my psychologist, primary doctor, and psychiatrist said the sleeve was a better option for me, so I did sleeve. It was easy-peasy.

I had GERD pre-surgery, so it was a no-brainer for me - bypass. If it weren't for that, yes - I would have had difficulty making a decision. They're both good surgeries and there are lots of people who've had success with both.
