April 14th for me!

I have my first appointment on Thursday for my initial consultation. My insurance does not have a waiting period so they told me it could be anywhere from 2-3 months depending on how soon I was able to schedule all appointments and if everything went smoothly. They said total would be about 11 appointments. I'm going to Lahey in Burlington, MA.

Once I was told that the sleeve make heartburn a lot worse that answer my question right there I did not want to have heartburn waking me up in the middle of the night to the point of puking nor did I want heartburn to make me puke after having surgery that's pretty much how I decided to go with the bypass

Did you suffer from heartburn prior to the surgery?

The only reason why I am back and forth is because of the long term results. Everything I have read and what the surgeon said at the info session was that there wasn't as much data long term as there is with the bypass

I just attended the information session last week and have scheduled my first appointment for next week. I'd like to know what factors made you choose the sleeve over the bypass surgery. I know the doctor will tell me ultimately which one would likely give me more success, but it in the end it is my decision. I don't have any major health issues except for fatty liver which is very common when you are overweight. What factors helped in determining your decision?
