Why did you choose bypasd?

[laceygorrell 79]

I chose the sleeve because that's the only option I have. My doctor only does the band or sleeve. I have heard to many bad about the band. I got this app and looked at all these threads and alot of people have really good results with the sleeve. I originally wanted bypass as I would like to lose 140 pounds but I am gonna continue with the sleeve and if in the future I could get it revised to the bypass. Alot of people choose the sleeve because it's not messing with your intestines and such but I have seen so many good from both sleeve and bypass

I have some thinking to do.

I was going to do the sleeve at first because it was less invasive but as you see here many people have revisions so since they are in there I felt I would just go all the way. I think also having the bypass part of it makes for maintaining easier as you will never have that length of intestine to absorb calories.

I chose this first after prompting from my surgeon and after more research it seemed like many people were having revision to rny and I did not want to go down that road. Sleeve is very new and the I would have liked to see more research to convince me.
