I have acid reflux and doctor recommended gastric bypass. I wanted a sleeve bc they don't mess that much with my stomach but bypass fits me best

Same here, I previously had a band and the reflux was a nightmare so with the possibility of staple line leaks with a sleeve due to scar tissue and the reflux, my surgeon and I concluded that bypass is the op for me.

My surgery date was 3 1/2 mos ago. Down almost 70 lbs. Definitely glad I decided on the RNY.

Amazing

That's great your weight loss!! How was your pain after surgery??

I previously had a band which was removed two years ago and initially wanted to get a sleeve but my surgeon recommended RNY due to the very bad gerd that I had when my band was slipped/eroding and the likelihood of bad scar tissue which might mean leaks on the staple line of a sleeve.

Take your surgeons expert advice about which is better for you.

I've been told that gastric bypass is the best one to lose a lot of weight on.
