Hi! I chose the sleeve as my BMI was 41, and I felt that I didn't need to go as far as a bypass with the re routing of the intestines, but wanted a sleeve as it doesn't need the fills etc of a band.

I know bypass is usually recommended for folk with diabetes but I have type 1, so was always still going to need some insulin post op. Even with the sleeve my dose has decreased dramatically.

I am only 4 weeks out, but so far happy with my choice. Good luck with whatever you decide Loz.

Pretty much my reasoning too, aside from the diabetes which I don't have.
