I'm having surgery in June and still can't decide between bypass and sleeve. I'm leaning slightly more towards bypass but I know sleeve is less invasive and less risky. A little about me I'm 24 and have about 250lbs to lose in realitively good health, I have pcos and a mild case of sleep apnea. Not on any medications currently. Loosing weight is incredibly hard for me I was on the clear liquid diet for 2 weeks and only lost 1 lb.... Any advice or opinion is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I was originally leaning for rny but my doctor refused to perform it at my weight and gave me an option of mini bypass or sleeve (both under anesthesia for much less time) i choose the sleeve as there are more revision options if necessary

You can't depend on dumping. You might not ever dump, and even if you do, you might only dump in the very beginning.

The reason your Dr said they are the same, is because long term, they basically are the same. You have to do the work, you can eat around a sleeve or the bypass.

If people don't change how they think about food and your eating habits, people can fail with either. Long term it doesn't matter what you have.

Yes, I feel this so much. You have to do the work. I am in the in the beginning of my 6 month supervised diet... and I am learning to work.
