  2. Thank you all. Definitely some of the things I was thinking of and a few others that I hadn't considered as much. I'm going to keep reading and think it will solidify my decision.
  3. I'm new here, I had my initial appointment with the surgeon last Thursday and told him I was unsure which procedure I wanted. He said I was a good candidate for surgery and that with my BMI either surgery was a good choice. He pretty much said to keep doing more research and go with what my gut told me. While I appreciate the trust he has in me deciding, I'm of course worried I'll choose wrong. He did say that he currently does about 10 Sleeves for every Bypass. Currently leaning heavily towards the sleeve, but I'm a bit worried about GERD. It hasn't been a major problem for me, but I know it's a risk that it can get worse. Also sounds like slightly less weight loss, but probably not enough to worry about in the grand scheme of things. What was it for you that helped you decide on the sleeve?
