The sleeve for the reasons HisLady and clpeltz gave!  Except the healing IS faster with the sleeve than RNY or DS.  Sleeves are good to go 2-3 weeks faster.

The first surgery the only choice I had was band or RNY.  I did the research and didn't want the RNY  I didn't want to lose my pyloric valve.  I also didn't want to have malabsorption of calories for only a couple years but, malabsorption of vitamins for life.  I also wanted to be able to take NSIDS.  So I went with the band until I had medical issues with it.

Now I had a choice of RNY and Sleeve.  I still didn't want the same issues with the RNY and I also still want to be able to take NSIDS.

Good Luck with what ever you decide.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
