This is a big decision. I suggest you learn as much as you can about each option and then talk with your surgeon about which one would be best for you.

I started out weighing much more than 300 pounds and was sleeved almost a year ago. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

I have talked to Dr. He suggested sleeve, however I'm not sure I'll get the weight loss I want.

Why not?

As long as you follow your program, you will lose weight. I have lost over 200 pounds in my first year and have no intention of stopping until I get to goal.

Find a surgeon you trust and do what they suggest. They usually can decide based on your overall health and medical history ect..... There are a lot of different aspects to both surgeries. None of us can give you that answer. We can only tell you what worked for us.

I have spent the last few months agonizing over the same decision. My surgeon referred me for several tests for acid reflux/GERD and after finding I have some damage from it I am now going for a gastric bypass. In addition to talking to your surgeon, you may find it helpful to make a list of your health conditions (if any) and research which surgery is best for each one of them. Include things like previous abdominal surgeries, preference for sweets versus large volume eater of healthier foods, as well as amount of weight to lose and likelihood of regain and see which surgery fits you best.
