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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
