I am almost done with all my requirements and will hopefully have a surgery date in June or early July. I had my mind set on the sleeve this entire time, but in reading some of the posts I am second guessing myself. Maybe go with bypass??? I am a terrible grazer and sweet addict once I get going. From what I have read, the bypass may be more of a reinforcement to help me get over these behaviors. I just am leary of rerouting my intestines if it's not necessary. Smh....anybody have any advice either way to help me make this decision? Thanks guys!!

I'm in the same boat as you.. not much of a sweet addict, but I am still leaning more towards the bypass anyways

It's all in what you make of it with either surgery. I had the sleeve done and I'm just over six months out and down 101lbs. I am on par with by pass patients losses at six months out according to my dr. I will say I was never a huge sweets person my problem was portions and breads, so that is why sleeve was so appealing to me. I have now gone the low carb route and find that I don't really crave much of anything anymore except on occasion a good steak but then I'll eat maybe two ounces of it and I'm stuffed.

Yeah my problem is more like chicken Alfredo.. mac n cheese...

You can still eat these foods if you're willing to modify them a little! Try chicken alfredo with zucchini or spaghetti squash noodles and a Greek yogurt alfredo! Or make a good mac and cheese sauce with real cheese and serve it over cauliflower. It's not the exact same, but you can really get the same flavors with lower calorie alternatives.
