I'm new here and I'm really starting to get indecisive about whether I should get the gastric sleeve or gastric bypass. I was considering doing the sleeve cause I think that's what would fit me best. Then now the gastric bypass because I have a very bad sweet tooth!! Please help me out (:

regardless of what you get you need to forget about your sweet tooth and make it a veggie tooth lol. I'm getting the sleeve becuase i dont want to lose too much weight. I only weigh 245... well now more like 250 because of the holidays. Also because Gastirc Bypasss if more MAJOR than the Sleeve. I chose the sleeve over the band.

Don't base your decision on having a sweet tooth because if you get the sleeve thinking you can still eat sweets like you do now you'll gain all the weight back or won;t lose any like a friend of mine did.

This is almost 4 years of research i've been doing. Read more on Sleeve vs bypass and compare Vitamin inefficiency, re-cooperation time, success stories and on success stories, side effects and the risks. Good Luck!!!!

I had a terrible sweet tooth as well, but since my sleeve on Nov 12, I have not wanted anything sweet at all. I haven't had a single craving since Nov 11!!!! Good luck in your decision!!

Thanks! I think I am going to go with the sleeve.

My friend had the gastric bypass and after a year she could eat candy and has gained 40 lbs back. So it's not a cure for a sweet tooth. The gastric bypass will stretch more than the sleeve too.

Hi. I too am struggling between choosing the sleeve and the bypass. It has been difficult wondering if I'm going the right way. I have about 150 lbs to lose. As of tonight I'm going towards the sleeve. Research and not affecting my intestinal track is the reasons why. Good luck please let me know what you decide to do.

I'm leaning more towards the sleeve right now I font want to be cut on and re routed you kno

I had the same dilemma but went with the sleeve. I saw the effects of my friend who had the bypass and didn't keep up with her vitamins and the other complications that she's had, it made me steer clear of that. Its a personal decision that each of us have to make, do your research and the way that you need to go should become clear.
