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 doctor.

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!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
