Sleeve vs Bypass



Recommended Posts

I am having the gastric sleeve. I have Kaiser and my doctor said unless there is a good reason like excessive heartburn he will not do the bypass as its results are too similar with the complications being much higher than the sleeve.

I chose sleeve because my BMI was 35 and I didn't think I needed the more drastic procedure. Plus, with the sleeve, you have fewer malabsorbtion issues, and if I ever needed another procedure, I can always have the bypass or mini bypass, but once you cross those bridges, you're done...nowhere to go after that.

Which did you chose and why?

I also chose a ds which is part bypass and part sleeve. Chose it because i have alot of weight to lose.

I went DS route less known about but I am 400+ lbs and its has the best weight loss results its like a mixture of the two

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
