Bypass order Sleeve

[mrshokulani 5]

What made you choose? I was leaning toward the sleeve but now, 2.5 weeks before surgery considering the bypass.

My surgeon made his recommendation for the sleeve and I accepted it after research. Bypass leads you to run the risk of malabsorption of Vitamins for the rest of your life. There are other medical reasons for one over the other. Neither is fool proof. You need to do the work and get your head in the right place. What has your doc recommended?

I had GERD, so it was a no-brainer for me: bypass

btw - the vast majority of RNY'ers who develop Vitamin deficiencies don't keep on top of their Vitamins (or don't take them at all). If you're good about taking your vitamins every day, your chances of developing deficiencies are pretty small.

RNY = Roux-en-Y It's just another name for the bypass. Just like VSG is another name for the sleeve
