Im planning to have my surgery 2014...i have been diagnosis with lupus in 2009 and i gained so much weight ..i have to take 11 pills daily that include the prednisone that everybody knows can stimulate the appetite....i just want some advise of wish surgery is better for me.....ty so much

i was on prednisone while on chemo for prostate cancer. That combined with Lupron, (a testosterone killer), caused me to gain 50+ pounds very quickly. I topped out at 340. and was weak and sickly.

I chose the sleeve gastronomy because I didn't want the malabsorbtion that comes with the gastric bypass, which my wife got. I figured I needed every bit of nutrition I could get to keep the cancer away. I commited myself to a life of extreme athletic activity which I have stayed with even though I am 64.

Your doctors know best of course. The sleeve worked out very well with me and my wife is doing wonderful with the gastric bypass.

Ty so much...i will do more research about each surgery...I'm so new in this that i dont know where to start but hopefully my Dr will guide me....
