Weight Loss/Maintenance

I don't pretend to be an expert but the sleeve OR a full bileopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch would be MUCH better.
The sleeve would ONLY reduce the stomach and NOT interfere with nutritional absorption therefore you would have no issues with having to take mega doses of supplements. You wouldn't run the risk of malnutrition either.

The RNY removes the pyloric valve and therefore removes all of the gastric juices for proper digestion and most (not all) people have problems with dumping syndrome something I have NO issues with having had the BPD/DS

consider joining this group and bombarding them / us with all the questions you can think of. This group helped me in so many ways. They truly are the experts.
