Thank you for the responses fawnb71 and Bacon-n-Limes. I was initially considering RNY because of its long history and success long term but after further research and my own personal concerns I am pretty set on going with the Gastric Sleeve. So another question for all, I am hoping to get into surgey sometime in May or early June of this year if all the appointments & approval with insurance goes smoothly. I also have an international trip booked to Latvia (Eastern Europe) too see family after 22+years from June 28th-July 7th. Is that too soon to travel internationally? Is there anything I should consider? Please share your thoughts, advice, sugguestions. Thanks in advance!

Hi, my name is Veronika from Brooklyn Park, MN and I am currently going through all the steps to get approval for surgery with insurance. I would love to go to the next meeting to meet everyone. I am currently deciding between getting gastric bypass and gastric Sleeve. Hoping for a surgery date in May. I noticed that many of you have chosen the Gastric Sleeve. I realize that this is personal decision but would anyone be willing to share why you choose either gastric bypass or the sleeve. Thanks!
