Why the sleeve instead of bypass?

    Hello! I kind of assumed that most people that were under a certain bmi automagically went with the vgs instead of the bypass. Just recently I've noticed a few people that I know have gotten the bypass (& 2 of them weren't morbidly obese either) What made you guys choose the sleeve instead? I mostly was not wanting dumping syndrome however, one rny girl is glad that he has it.. so what are your reasons?

    Bypass is more severe. Main reason for Bypass over VGS is if you have severe GERD/Acid Reflux.

    I am minus the majority of a large intestine, and the bypass is malabsorption and calorie limits. I also opted for a less time after intense surgery.

    I am 65, and 11 days past surgery and am down 22 lbs., and while my energy is lower than I anticipated, I feel good.
