I’m still undecided on which to choose! The option of a Sleeve and Bypass was given to me. I’m leaning towards the Bypass because I’m anxious to get rid of the fat fast! But... is fast really a good thing? Uuughhh I need advice!

You could search sleeve vs bypass. There are lots of posts on this topic. , and you'll get lots of good advice. I picked bypass because I have GERD and also wanted the possible dumping to keep me in line. Best wishes to you.

I was going to suggest the same thing - just do as much research as you can. They're both good surgeries, and I've known people who've been very successful with both. I chose bypass because I had GERD pre-surgery, and I didn't want to risk it getting worse (sleeve can cause - or increase - GERD in some people, but not all. But I didn't want to take the risk). If it hadn't been for the GERD, I'm not sure which one I would have picked. I'm sure I would have been happy with either.

It's talked about a lot here on this forum. Check out the posts of people who've had each and the pros and cons of each. It's a personal decision that's up to you. I chose sleeve and I'm happy with it.

Aaaw Man! I’m new here, please excuse my tardiness... I’ll definitely look around and do more searching here on this forum. Thanks ??

I have had both. For me, I was determined to do the sleeve despite my surgeon saying that Bypass is the Cadillac of surgeries. I thought that RNY just seemed so... final. I wasn't ready to commit. So I had the sleeve and I can tell you that for ME, I woke up from surgery hungry and I stayed hungry. Then had a complication, but that's neither here nor there when it comes to choosing my surgery.

forward to this February and I had RNY. Sooooo much better (for ME). I wasn't hungry. I now feel restriction where I didn't before. I don't feel weird or that different, except that I feel like my tool is working for me now.

Good luck with choosing! Maybe just think about your reasons for wanting one over the other and analyse that.

Overall the bypass rny is the best for many reasons you can find on here but it is up top the individual. Good Luck
