Bypass v’s Sleeve..... help!

Hi
I’m on the last stage and just waiting for my surgery date, at my last visit with the consultant he asked me which surgery I was opting for
I was always opting for the sleeve and then decided on the bypass, can anyone tell me if they have had the same struggle with this decision and why you chose either the bypass or sleeve?
I’m so confused and can change my mind as late as going into the operating room so as much info from everyone will help me make that decision
Thank you
