      I walk 45-55 minutes, 2.5-3.0 miles, at least four times a week. More if possible but never less than four. There is absolutely not the slightest doubt in my mind that it has increased my overall weig

    Wow! Awesome weight loss everyone! I'm currently debating between bypass and the sleeve, but leaning more towards the bypass. What made you all choose the bypass over the sleeve?

    I did not choose my surgery type.. my doctor did it for me... i think doctor know better than us!!!! I had sleeve

    I wish that my surgeon would choose for me but he left the decision up to me. He went over the pro's and con's of both of the surgeries and then gave me two authorization forms to sign (one for the sleeve and one for bypass) and said once I make my decision to send that back to the office. He suggested that I go to the local bariatric surgery support group and talk with friends and family who may have had the surgery to help make my decision.
