i was very torn between the two also. I was told because I am so over weight that the bypass would work better for me. However, after MUCH MUCH research and having family members have the bypass I have decided to get the sleeve. Fewer health risk, faster recovery, and sooner you can get back to your NEW normal life. My aunt had the bypass over a year ago she still has many many issues and she looks unhealthly in general. She and a few other members of my family have had the bypass and they all told me to get the sleeve and they wish they would have gotten the sleeve.

Sleeve all the way for me. I didn't want to deal with the problems that come with a bypass - like greater risk of leaks because they're rerouting my intestines! Less choice in what I can eat, too. While I might have lost more weight faster with a bypass I can't complain about what I've lost so far.

Hey hopes all goes well. I had heard bypass is the fastest on lossing weight but gives u health problem later on in life. I guess the sleeve does work better in still getting info on the sleeve just to be sure

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
