What made you decide sleeve vs. bypass?

What made you decide sleeve vs. bypass?

Far less risk for a comparable percentage weight loss rate when considering sleeve vs RNY. The percentage loss difference between sleeve and RNY is statistically 15%. Sleeve weight loss percentage is 60% and RNY percentage weight loss difference is 75% as explained to me during initial consult. However, Individual success is what you make of it....anyone can be an outlier statistically.

The number of bypass patients with anemia, they look gastly. I've given them blood and iron infusions.

Dumping syndrome, anemia risk, didn't really want to screw with absorption of minerals, higher gal bladder issue risk, more extensive surgery with higher complication risk. Just a few of my reasons...

but I would suggest reading up on a RNY board to see how others are doing with it as well as reading up here on how we are doing before making your choice.

Dumping syndrome, anemia, nausea, possibility of obstruction, increased complication rate, more recovery time, etc.

Osteoporosis runs in my family big time. Why would I want to set myself up for serious deficiencies that could make it hard for me to survive a light fall without splintering something? Bad idea.
