The only good thing I know is with the sleeve the appetite is suppressed better due to the ghrelin being removed, but I see so many sleeves then getting bypass a second round so I rather just get it done right the first time

I would like to see your results post 18 months and then perhaps I'd consider it. Seen too many regains too fast with the sleeve.

Have you had any issues with kidney stones or ulcers or hernias after bypass??

Thank you so much to all of you for your replies. My consult is next week. I hope Dr. approves me for bypass as that is my primary preference but I know many Dr's push for sleeve nowadays. How about eating high fat low carb? Since high cat curbs your hunger and keeps u feeling fuller longer, can any of you eat traditional keto now years later? Or you still have to keep the fats low?

Hello, I'd like peoples advice on which surgery to go with. Here's. My stats. I'm 5'7, 295 lbs. My BMI is 46. I need to lose 150 lbs to be at 150. I'd like to get the sleeve but with 60-70% excess weight loss plus 10-15% regain, I'm looking at being around 220 lbs when this is all said and done. With bypass, I know several people who have lost 100% of their excess weight and had it easier keeping it off. The problem is they have bad vitamin deficiency even a decade later and can't even take some antidepressants. My question is to you is, how many of you got sleeved with a 46 BMI? Did you lose more than 70%? And for the bypass patients, if you've had the surgery over 5 years ago, how restricted are you now?
