Sleeve or Bypass?
Help!!!
I am a diabetic, well controlled by minimal drugs. I recently seen Dr.Karmali. He asked me what surgery I was thinking and I said either the sleeve or bypass. He said both are good surgeries, my choice. My family Dr thinks the sleeve is all I need. I was hoping that Dr Karmali would have told me which one he thought would be best but he wouldn't so since I only need to lose about 60 pounds, can anyone tell me what surgery they had and why.
Thanks

I had the sleeve on January 7, 2016 as I researched and was not too happy with the vitamin deficiencies and dumping syndrome. I already have issues with certain foods and dump and my surgeon right away said NOPE, sleeve it will be!!
So far I am doing well and starting the soft food stage and get full on only 1/4 cup of canned salmon or 1 oz of steamed salmon. hard to believe as I could eat a big chunk of fish or meats.
Doing your research of both procedures is a good thing and do a pros and cons sheet and see what best suits you.
Good luck!!!!!
