Ive had a bypass but I would say, what ever you choose, its just an aid, so you will still have to work at it and want the result and to put in the exercise.
Hi,
I had a bypass 4 week ago tomorrow and have lost over 3 1/2 stone i'm over the moon. I think the choice can depend on your conditions and eating habits to what is best for you.
Good luck,

What have your surgical team advised? they will know your case, and provided you have been honest with them which will best suit your current eating patterns. The bypass is the quickest weight loss tool but in time they deliver similar results. Good luck with your choice x
The evidence collected so far indicates that at 5 years post op the sleeve and bypass are the same. However, because the stomach pouch is so much smaller and the malabsoption means generally the bypass is faster. However, some sleevers lose fast and some bypassers lose slowly. There is no hard and fast answer to your question. Your decision should really be based on more than speed too. Good luck.
thanks marie i think the sleeve would give me more heartburn as i already suffer from heartburn now is one more dangerouse than the other or would you say they are both the same were danger is concerned x
Hey sweetpea.... only you and your surgeon can decide this! get your info and peoples experience from this site but not what the majority of people say for what op you ask for!.... do some research on google so your armed as best as you can for your chat with your surgeon, and see which op best suits YOUR needs...
my reasons for choosing a sleeve was i was a volume eater that lived off carbs and bypassed sweets icecream cake for the crisps and chips etc... so the sleeve suited me and my needs which the surgeon agreed with.... however they say! that if sweets cake choc ice cream etc float your boat then the bypass is better as you ve the threat of dumping etc which is enough to warrant off the temptation of sneaking one more choc
its a very personal decision that has to be made right the first time! and with the help of your surgeon and your research on the two ops you ll choose the right one!
Well I like all those foods but I'm a bread eater more than anything cheese sandwiches are my fave and bacon so maybe the sleeve would be better will have to speak to my surgeon thanks x
