My doctor is telling me, that the best surgery for me is the by pass.. I'm confused about what I want. I want to know what is the difference.. I'm happy that I've been approved by therapist I'm glad they didn't throw a strait jacket on me. Lol so far so good now I just need the medical release and to go to the dietitian.

Woo Hoo! Happy for you!

Thank u. I'm starting to get really excited. I'm ready for this new journey.

Personally I think that if you have 100-135 pounds to lose the sleeve is the way to go. If you have more than that or are diabetic and/or love sweets and don't think you could live without them than bypass is the way to go because of dumping and its a little more severe (surgery wise) than the sleeve. You will lose more weight with bypass (maybe, there are exceptions to this).
