What made you choose the sleeve instead of the bypass ? What pros and cons help you choose sleeve ??? I'm am "5"5 I weight 240 my bmi is 39 and I'm 28 years old. I'm worried about long term affect on both surgeries , now I'm leaning towards bypass for the simple reason that I wanna be sure to lose 100pds . Idk what to do I thought I wanted the sleeve ... Please tell me your feelings.

I had the sleeve because I did not want to reroute and deal with dumping and malabsorption. If the sleeve is not enough it can be changed to the RNY. I believe they call it a duodenal switch. I am hoping to not resort to that. I want to keep the mindset that the sleeve is a tool and I must use it not abuse it! Good luck to you!

Maybe it's your gall bladder just a thought

My gallbladder was removed 5 years ago .. That was not fun . I had pancreatitis at the same time

Iwent with the sleeve because it's most like lormal operation. Success is still dependent on eating habits for any surgery. I worked with a nut for a few years, 1. to try one last time w/o the surgery, and 2. to make sure Iewas ready for the changes in eating habits. Because of this ri'm confident I will be very successful with my sleeve.
