Bypass or Sleeve?

[Futureshrink]

Just curious! What did you decide? I am a few weeks from removing my band and getting gastric bypass!

I’m still undecided....and am going to have to make a decision.

I had a hard time deciding too.

The interesting part is I’m not freaked out by the surgery itself, but am about the choice if that makes sense. I’ve already grieved my relationship with food and was successful with weight loss for about 7 years when the Lapband worked. I am comfortable with smaller portions etc because I’ve been doing that for years.

I am just so unsure about what is best. I have talked to so many people who have had one or the other or converted to the bypass or had all three starting with the Lapband.

I love that... grieved your relationship with food. That's perfect. Perhaps that is what I'm starting to do... grieve? It took me 4 years to grieve my best friend the cigarette. I should have realized this would be similar. Thank you.
