Hi guys! I still haven't decided on the sleeve or bypass any suggestions on how can I rule one out? I was leading towards the sleeve I just want to make sure it's the best choice for me!????

@@solmedina did your surgeon give you any advice on which one he/she thought Would be best for you?

I'm scheduled to meet him on Nov 7th I hope he helps clarify things more for me ☺️

Recovery time was a big factor for me:)

Malabsorption of vitamins and such and the fact that with the sleeve, the digestion process isn't changed drastically were all big factors for me.

@@solmedina Oh good maybe they will be able to tell you which is more fitting for you. My surgeon pretty much said sleeve! I thought I Would be getting RNY and he said sleeve would be much better for me. I think it's ultimately up to you though. The more I researched the sleeve the more I agree he is right. I just don't Know anyone with a sleeve only RNY thus is the reason I joined this site!

I went with the sleeve because I did not want my plumbing rerouted or have a port in my abdomen.

Malabsorption of Vitamins and such and the fact that with the sleeve, the digestion process isn't changed drastically were all big factors for me.

Same for me. I liked the idea that the basic digestion process was the same and that my insides weren't completely rearranged. Luckily, my doctor also thought thought the sleeve was a good choice for me.
