I'm debating on the sleeve and bypass. I am 340 lbs and not sure which is best and why... I should lose like 160 lbs...

Realistic or no?

      I highly recommend the sleeve. A lot of people are very successful in losing their weight and you can too. The sleeve has been reported as one of the safest. This is just my opinion. . I am not a doct

    You are on a sleeve forum so most of these people will recommend the bypass.

    Wait, that doesn't sound right. :huh:

    Your goal is very realistic with the sleeve. However, be warned: the sleeve will only do so much of the heavy lifting for you. You have got to make a lifestyle change of diet and exercise to really be able to nail that goal. You will be able to do it! I started at 360 on may 25th, 2012 and hit 178 at feb 28th, 2013. Today, I am at 185 lb, 16% body fat and am almost to my envisioned body image. The lady loves it! Even better, I love myself now. Best decision EVER!!
