Does anyone regret getting the sleeve and wish they had the bypass?

I'm just wondering if anyone here would recommend the bypass over the sleeve or wish they had the bypass instead?

For me it was a question of complication rates. A few pounds quicker loss was of little consequence because I would eventually reach my goal weight. I felt the complication rates for bypass vs sleeve were just too great. My surgeon and I also both felt my initial weight didn't warrant the bypass.

I believe there are a quite a few variables in deciding and a competent surgeon can help guide you to the surgery that will help increase your long-term weight loss success vs possible complications.

My surgeon pointed out that it depends on the person. Most of the time sleeve and bypass rates are the same. Sometimes sleeves are more, sometimes bypass is more. I'll take absorbing my nutrients through my food :)

I'm 27 days post op and lost 20lbs. That's not slow ! I even had a week stall !
