Each person's decisions for choosing which WLS to have is different and dependent on a number of factors. Gather all of the information you can about each, read the forums here about people's experiences, take the advise of your surgeon and go from there.

GradyCat is right. There are so many factors, only you and your surgeon can determine which surgery is right for you. There are posts which discuss people's reasons for the surgery they chose. You may find them useful in starting a discussion with your surgeon. Either way, surgery is an awesome, life changing opportunity! Good luck!

I have my first appointment on July 8th. I’m going to be discussing doing the Gastric Bypass due to me having GERD. I would definitely research the different options and choose the one that best suits you.

Definitely researching all I can before I see the surgeon so I know what questions I need to ask but nice encouraging opinions help too so thank you!
