27 Days Until Surgery. Why I Chose The Sleeve.

Gastric Sleeve

I was offered either a Bariatric Sleeve or a Bypass by Manitoba Health.  I've done a lot of research in regards to what would be better for me.

My main reason for choosing the sleeve is that it is less invasive and the chance of the "dumping syndrome" is less common.  The fear of being in a public place and not having a washroom near by is a scary one.  The weight also seems to come down slower with a sleeve.  I like that idea because I know that in order to make this successful, it will be MY responsibility to make this happen.  Not the surgery.  The sleeve reminds me that I also have some work to do.

If I rely completely on the surgery, I will fail.
