Bypass or Sleeve?
Overall the bypass rny is the best for many reasons you can find on here but it is up top the individual. Good Luck

Foodies - honestly how bad is it?
Just wish to say you seem to have everything down pat. Great attitude! Is it possible to get a little more detail? What was your pre-op weight, how long did it take to lose all your weight and how much did you lose? Was it consistent losses every month or all over the place? I'm going for RNY but you seem to have everything in order so you are an inspiration!

Pounds lost
@jennigurl23 it depends on a few things, your BMI how much weight you need to lose? But most will tell you the RNY is more effective, more restrictive, it changes your metabolism and your internal gastric system... Most studies will show RNY better overall loss and better management of type 2diabetes... But you will need to be on more vitamins than sleeve.. but it also helps with reflux or gerd...

I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?
I'm in Adelaide and I go to many shops to find the lowest carbs and sugar protein powders I can and if you look you can find anywhere from 0.6g to 6.5g sugar per serve!

I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?
I see all those issues as positive.. having to eat smaller and slower and puree for longer that's what I'm looking for I'll be staying on liquids and puree long as I can when time comes! I love protein shakes..

Do you ever feel you are losing too fast?
Enjoy it while you can.. it will slow down at some point

SLEEVE regret
Now whose being mean... Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thank you.

SLEEVE regret
No sorry was just making an observation..

SLEEVE regret
So your sleeve was so good yet you still need BYPASS.. That's my point exactly, you had no issues and still need bypass... That's why I'm helping people make the right choices rather than put their body through 2 surgeries and we all know the revision is never as good as a first operation... But I wish you luck

Smoking and ulcers
THEN WHY THE FK waste money and possibly cause problem with your surgery if you say you don't need it? Why would you do anything to hinder your progress? You may as well open your wallet and set it alight or at least donate the money to charity? Good luck

Can anyone help me?
Hey are you permanently wheelchair bound? 5'3 would be good weight 120? There's many factors involved in the decision. Age, mobility, medical issues, either sleeve or bypass is good..

Smoking and ulcers
Cigarettes contain many known chemicals and poisons so they affect every organ in the body so of course it will hurt your new stomach....

Weighing in at the doctor's office
You'll be surprised most scales differ in results different companies, different calibration. You can put 3 different scales in front of you and they can be different. The worst is when Dr weighs in the afternoon ?

Any Teen Sleevers?
I know a girl who was 17 when she had VSG surgery... Don't think it's very common at teenage though..

How’d you Choose? Sleeve v.s. Bypass?
Same as you I chose bypass as it's the best and more aggressive and was unable to get DS

my journey
That's great I really hope it has the same affect on me. If I could eat very little my life would be much easier. Main reason ppl get fat is because they feel the need to eat constantly...
