    Sleeve is just as good as bipass and you will have less malabsorption/ dumping with doing the sleeve. Sleeve is becoming the new way to go. I think you will be very happy with it.

I wish you the best in making an informed decision. From the sleeve you can do a bypass, but not the other way around. I would seriously consider taking the more conservative approach and do the sleeve. You won't have dumping or the malabsorption that comes with the bypass. You will have amazing results with the sleeve with the stats you posted. I would listen more to your surgeon than your family. They love you, but he knows all about all of this and does it every day.
