I am in the process of my weight loss surgery and I am looking for opinions on different surgeries. I was leaning toward bypass but now I am second guessing myself. Please help.

There are a ton of threads about this it might be helpful to read some of those.

but each surgery has it's good and bad. You will most likely have great success with either but you have to see which one is right for you. Talk to your surgeon and see what they recommend.

Both can be very successful and both have their pros and cons that apply to different people in different situations. Maybe if you give us a bit more information about you, we could better evaluate which is the best option. Though it's still really between you and your surgeon to decide. What is your current BMI? Do you have any comorbidities? Do you have diabetes? Do you currently experience acid reflux? Are you currently on any medications? What are your current issues with food? Are you a binge eater? Do you have a weak spot for sweets?

I am in the same boat as you. I really can't decide between the sleeve and bypass.

I would go to a Bariatric Program that is comprehensive and includes the entire Team (Psych, Nutritionist, Surgeon) and after meeting with them - you can all decide what's best for you. It will depend on your current medical issues and eating habits.

For me, the higher percentage of remediation of diabetes with bypass was the reason my surgeon felt it was the right operation for me, and I agreed with him. Read up on both surgeries and ask your surgeon his opinion. Best of luck!
