Gastric Bypass vs. Gastric Sleeve

I would listen to the advice of your surgeon and the rationale behind the advice. I had severe acid reflux (GERD) prior to surgery. The sleeve will only make that condition worse. That is why I choose RNY gastric bypass. Also RNY gastric bypass has been around longer, most of the bugs are worked out, and it is almost the gold standard. With RNY surgery, you will lose weight at a quicker pace. But with sleeve, even though you lose weight at a slower pace, the weight loss phase can be sustain for a longer period, so with either operation the same weight loss can be achieved.

    I also chose RNY because of GERD. No way did I want it getting worse. I haven't had any problems with it since my surgery.
