    Shanna0628 got a reaction from PCOSSUCKS in Why pick gastric bypass over gastric sleeve?   
    This is what convinced me....
    the risk associated with both surgery are equal, and the risk of complications after are equal.... BUT... if your sleeve leaks, it’s worse than a bypass leaking. Here’s why.... the sleeve leaves the esophagus and intestines attached... but your system is built for a certain sized stomach. When they make the stomach smaller, it creates a high-pressure environment. This is why food and bile pushes up. If you leak with this high pressure environment, the consequences are more severe. With the bypass, it is a low pressure system. Everything needs to be adjusted for slow system. (The speed in which you eat and drink also needs to slow down - or you get dumping).
    The risk of leaving after a sleeve was my deciding factor and my surgeon said it was best for me.
    Good of luck with everything!
