I have just started this process. I went to the Dr on Tuesday. I was thinking the sleeve was my choice. (no malabsorption and no rerouting of body parts) I asked Dr Smith his thoughts and he was leaning toward RNY (More weight loss, but more malabsorption and may help with Diabetes) Has anyone had problems meeting their goal with the sleeve? I am not sure why I am swaying now. I really want to lose weight and want the best possible outcome. I think I am concerned of the rerouting of the body parts. Did anyone else have this weighing (lol) the decision?

Hi

Just to add what my doc said regarding GERD/heartburn and WLS- I asked specifically as I've been treated for GERD for many years- he said that while there is a chance that reflux may appear or worsen with the sleeve, in his patients, he's only had 3 that needed revision to RnY because of that. I feel confident in going ahead with the sleeve, as weight loss itself may improve my reflux dramatically. Good luck with your decision- as long as it's a fully informed one, it's the right decision for you.

No way is that crazy, I thought of that too!!!!

I was even considering not going through with

this because you never know what will happen.

@@tfarr Oh my god, I thought I was the only one! But you know, I think ultimately the surgery is a good thing, especially if done soon. One of the best things you can do is get in shape, which I know I can't do on my own.
