Hi guys:
I’m Julie , I’m new here and getting close to surgery and I’m still undecided on sleeve vs bypass. My apprehension comes from things I’ve heard over the years, horror stories. I realize my fear may be based on things which may not be true and I know the procedure has went through many updates and improvements. I worry about dumping and malabsorption. My surgeon is recommending bypass and my provider in the program likes the sleeve. So I’m making myself crazy. Anyone having surgery at Bailey in Owasso, OK. I could use a buddy.

Hi Jules, When I was deciding between a sleeve vs bypass I decided on the sleeve because if it doesn't work completely, I could still do the gastric bypass later. But I wouldn't be able to do the opposite. Maybe that is something to consider along with your other situations. Obviously, I don't know your medical history so I wouldn't make assumptions or push you one way or the other. But I do know that for me, the sleeve was a much less daunting surgery than the bypass.
