Staples or Sleeve?

[NiftyNick]

Hi All,
I was curious who has had the surgery and if they feel one option is better over the other. I am leaning towards staples based off of what my doctor told me and one other person who is close to me who went through with the sleeve. Any comments on either? Thank you!

Before anyone can answer your question, you should study your terminology. It isn't a question of whether or not you use staples or have a sleeve. All the surgeries involve staples. Only one of the surgeries uses the terminology sleeve. Sleeve is not a bypass surgery. It's simply makes your stomach smaller. Most people end up revising the sleeve into a bypass later. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a matter of medical choice. Do your research and I'm sure you will get a lot of feedback from people about one of the several types of weight loss surgery you can choose intelligently.
