Thanks for the awesome video! Your explanation of the differences between a gastric sleeve and a gastric bypass really hit home for me. Initially, I was fixated on maximum weight loss and had chosen a bypass. However, I later decided to go for a sleeve, and your video confirmed that I made the right choice. I’m in a Facebook group where many gastric bypass patients share serious complications like intestinal hernias, vitamin deficiencies, blockages, etc. While the sleeve has its own set of issues, they seem significantly fewer by comparison. Your insights have been incredibly reassuring. Keep rocking the great content - you’re making a real difference!
This was so helpful i was doubting my doctors recommendation of the sleeve over the gastric bypass,i will stick with my Dr.recommendation on the sleeve
This y far has been the most helpful video! I’ve watched so many videos and have contemplated the which surgery to go with. I went back and forth and this really confirmed why I’m going with the sleeve. Thank you so much I wish I found this video before!
I found this to be helpful. I am having the bypass, not to lose more, but because I have T2 Diabetes and Acid Reflux. My doctor suggested this as the best option for me. I have my surgery in less than 60 days.
This has been really helpful, thank you. One thing I’d love to know more about is taking medication after each procedure. Do the surgeries affect medication absorption, or does one more than the other? What about extended release meds? I’m on a bit of a cocktail of meds (of course I’ll discuss my individual case with my consultant) and I worry that one or both procedures might cause my meds to become less effective.
Thank you. This was helpful. I’ve been approved for sleeve but was scared of heartburn… BUT I almost never had heartburn when I was thinner. So now I’ll stop double-guessing my surgeon’s recommendation! 😂
I was going to get bariatric surgery in 2010 but I backed up 3 times and was already in the process of getting my surgery done I wasn’t obese that’s why I backed up on my surgery day i was really young and I was this close to getting into the process I did the process of bariatric surgery like 3 times I even did the classes, the testing and etc, but till this day my dr still offers me bariatric surgery and weight loss injections ‘ I did my research about bariatric surgery, gastric sleeve and gastric bypass for many years now 😌 ❤
Thank you so much for this information! I feel that it really helped me solidify my decision on getting the gastric sleeve. As a young mother who hasn’t had a past of disease, I believe it’s what would be best for me.
I have 90% decided on a bypass however i am T2 Diabetic. Other clinics are saying they only do a bypass for T2 Diabetes. Do you find that sleeve still has great results for Diabetes as well?
Hi I’m T1 diabetic and have been approved for surgery, I wanted to have bypass as you lose more weight but I know I should have sleeve incase I have a hypo and will need sugar and if I have bypass I would have dumping what is your opinion on T1 with this surgery 😊
Most helpful video on the subject! Going for the sleeve instead of bypass. Thanks

I had a bypass with streamline. As I am a volume eater x lost 100% of my excess weight which was 4 stone.
What is 4 Stone?
@@Scott-ze5fb A stone is 14 pounds which is the standard unit of measurement of (human) body weight in the Imperial or British system.

Why has it taken so long, I thought I was bad waiting 3 years. I have had other health issues though.
