GiGi, I'm confused!  I thought the sleeve was just removing 85% of the stomach.  Are you talking about the duodenal switch?

I had the SGB...it doesn't remove the stomach it just stiches up a portion of my stomach and my new stomach is long sleeve. Then it's attached to the lower end of my small intestine.

I didn't have a gastrectomy, it's like a mini gastric bypass.

Wow, that sounds like a little of both.  Thanks for the info, I will have to look into this one!
