I have many friends who have done the gastric bypass.
My aunt-had the bypass about 4 years ago, lost tons of weight and was able to walk again, fast forward 4 years and she is regaining at a fast rate
Friend-had the bypass probably 5 years ago, spent a month in ICU, had multiple surgeries since to repair issues she had due to the bypass. Now she is regaining
2 Friends-lost all the weight and then some, both are having to eat junk food daily just to keep their weight from continuing to drop
Friend-Had bypass about a year and a half ago, a few months in she was rushed to the ER for severe pain, she had an ulcer form at the staple line where her intestines were, the ulcer burst. She was immediately brought in to surgery, where they had to repair the damage, remove more intestines, and basically do the surgery all over again. Not long after that, she again had a similar situation and they had to redo the surgery AGAIN! Then she was unable to eat, could only get certain junk foods down, went under 100 lbs. After lots of testing they decided to go back in, they decided that instead of producing too little acid, she produces too much acid, and that was causing her ulcers. They went in AGAIN, did some repairs and now she is on a PPI that seems to be helping and she is finally able to eat real food and gaining weight back. The surgeons told her that if this happens again, she will be on a feeding tube for life.
The biggest issue I have seen with my friends that have had gastric bypass is the food intolerances, I have not seen this with my sleeve friends. There are plenty more who are doing just fine with the bypass, no issues at all but it is not something I wanted to risk.
I did have to laugh at my surgeons intern, he came in first for my consultation, he asked what I wanted and I said sleeve. He then goes on telling me that the RNY was probably a better option, I would lose 10% more weight. Im sorry but a lifetime of issues with Vitamin levels is not worth losing another 8-10 lbs as I started out "low" on the BMI scale. He said I needed to be open and my surgeon would discuss it with me. Surgeon came in and the first thing he said was the sleeve was a good decision and the sleevers lose just about the same amount as the RNY patients.

How funny, I just came back here to post the same thing about the trampoline I love being able to get on there with my kids and not being worried about the weight restrictions or getting too tired in a matter of minutes.
