I too had problems deciding on whether to go with the sleeve or the bypass and ended up deciding on the sleeve. I was not comfortable at the time of my surgery (1/21/2019) to rearrange my internals for WLS when the research that I had done, along with the information that I had discussed with my doctor has educated me that both surgery's have a very high success rate and doctors are now finding that performing the Gastric Sleeve is effective without needed to complete a total Bypass... there are also less risks and complications involved with the Sleeve. Currently I have not had any reflux issues, which I have had in the past... not everyone's journey is the same.. so I feel that while listening to other people's stories is helpful., ultimately you need to make a choice that you are comfortable with... one thing that people often forget is this is also a life style change.. not just a quick fix.. my stomach is smaller but once it's healed I can go back to eating anything I want.. if that's a person's mentality then I feel you're setting yourself up for failure long term.

I had my surgery on Monday, January 21st... it seems like today I'm not feeling well.. and I'm just trying to remind myself that it's probably all normal feeling.. but at the same time, I'm worried that maybe I'm not eating the right foods.. or I'm doing something wrong... and I didn't go through all of this for it not to work... so today I am a little down.
