I been a yo yo dieter all my life and ready to get on track to a healthier life style. I just started my 90 weight loss program that the Veterans Administration requires for weight loss surgery. Haven't decided which surgery to get yet but I leaning towards the sleeve. What did you guys choose the type of procedure that you had?

    I choose the sleeve due to the no hunger pains for 6 months to a year after the surgery, along with the quicker recovery time to heal.

    I chose bypass because I felt like it had a higher percentage of success. Plus, I have family who have had the bypass so I was familiar with it.

    I choose the sleeve as it is less invasive than the bypass. No moving the intestines around. Also, it doesn't have quite the limitations as the bypass carries since you are not moving the plumbing!

    I chose the sleeve for the no hunger reason and the not having to reroute the intestines. I am four days out but love it so far....
