What are your reasons for wanting to change?

Have you discussed this with your surgeon?

@KimTriesRNY I am afraid I won't be as successful and do not want to have to have a revision surgery later. I have a sugar addiction and do not know that the sleeve will be help me with that....

I have reached out to my surgeon and will hopefully get to speak with him soon about it.

If you have a lot to lose, will not change your diet ,already have reflux, maladaptive eating patterns, diabetes/hypertension, lack of self control /moderation you may want to consider talking about the sleeve vs bypass again with your team.

@GreenTealael My lack of self control/moderation is what is making me rethink the sleeve. I got approved for surgery about a month ago and have been having serious food control issues since then. And I'm scared if I don't have something that is super restrictive that I will not be as successful. I am currently sitting at around 210 (which isn't my highest of 252 or my lowest of 169) so to reach my goal weight of 145, I need to lose 65 pounds.

I am scheduled for the gastric sleeve in January. I am having second thoughts and debating on changing surgery to the gastric bypass. Has anyone had the sleeve and wished they would have went ahead with the bypass? Or had a revision? Or anything like that and why. Thanks!
