Sleeve vs. Bypass

[LifeChangesLori 79]

Just quit bickering! This is a forum to support everyone and there decisions. We do not have a right to judge others. Let's just support each other, geesh!

at no point in this maddening discussion did i ever claim that NO sleeve patients have success. nor did i ever claim that ALL sleeve patients get GERD.
i'm happy for your success.

No but you claimed the only other viable alternative to RNY was mini gastric bypass. If some sleeve patents have success why is it not a viable alternative?

Agreed. I am appalled by Johnnycakes behavior. This is a place to encourage and help others in a polite manner. Arguing and insulting others is childish and has no place here. I'm new and haven't had my surgery yet and none of your posts here are helpful but come off very offensive. I hope you calm down and feel better.


Best wishes!

because mini-gastric bypass patients don't need luck on their side like you had.

APPALLED!!! easy life you have lived thus far...

i am absolutely helping RSM, by combating the river of bullsh*t coming from Mhy about the procedures. you might think being helpful and encouraging is repeating things like "omg, best of luck sweetie! you'll do great! thoughts are with youuuuu!!!". and lord knows there's enough of that on this website.

i, however, think being helpful and encouraging is giving members like RSM the TRUTH, supported by verifiable FACTS about the coming surgery he's about to undertake.

two different approaches. that's all. i find your approach useless and annoying. and you find me "appalling". so we're thru here.

You know, if I could I would rip this post off this site, I would in a NY minute. I posted it to only ask about sleeve vs. bypass. It has gotten to unreal proportions as some people seem to vent their angry frustrations onto others. No more please!

I appreciate all of your help and will consult with my surgeon soon to sort it all out.

Good luck RSM. I'm sure you will carefully weigh both sides and make a good choice.
