Sleeve VS bypass

Hello. I'm new here. My surgery date is May 10th for the sleeve. I am now leaning towards bypass because I already suffer from bad reflux. I need real advice from the ppl who've "been there" to be able to make up my mind on which direction to go. Height 5'0, Current weight 208. TIA!

IMHO, If you have reflux issues already, please let your surgeon know this (and try to explain the severity to which you experience it)

Based on the information they give you and their recommendations make the best choice for you.
Good Luck ❤️

if you have reflux, most surgeons will recommend bypass. Sleeve often (not always, but often) can make that worse. Bypass often (not always, but often) improves if not outright cures it. I had reflux before surgery as well - it was a no-brainer for me. Bypass. I've been really happy with my decision and would choose it again.
