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 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! 😂
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
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 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 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?
Most helpful video on the subject! Going for the sleeve instead of bypass. Thanks

Gives us an update, how is everything going? Are you recovering well?
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.
Thank you very much for this explanation. Wonderful information here.
Wow very helpful.Thanks
