Hi there,

I am sure everyone of you that made this choice had a reason. Maybe your doctor choose, maybe you did.. I want to know why you chose the Sleeve over Gastric Bypass.

My doctor won't make the choice for me.. I have asked what his medical opinion is and he just shakes his head and states that it's up to me. He thinks I am bordering both procedures.

I need to make up my mind before it's submitted to insurance. They're waiting for me now.

Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!

Remember, they can always revise the sleeve into a bypass if you are not successful enough.

Honestly, at the seminar the dr said we could eat anything after the sleeve. That's what got my interest. I didn't go thru with that surgeon. I went to the Barix clinic where they told me honestly what to expect. I finally realized I didn't want to eat everything, I wanted to do it right. I wasn't too hyped about the malabsorption and re routing the works but if I didn't have the choice of the sleeve I was desperate enough to take the bypass. I'm thrilled I have the sleeve. Good luck with your decision. I totally agree you can go from a sleeve to a bypass.

I was diabetic pre sleeve. Full on type two diabetes. I am no longer. The sleeve works well on reversing diabetes too. Well, type two. Can't help with type one. All the other reasons why I chose the sleeve were covered by everyone else. But I wanted to let you know it worked on my diabetes just as well as a bypass would have without the intestinal reroute.
