Meeting with my surgeon tomorrow, curious about what type of bariatric surgery is the best, and why?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss Support Group.

If you have not reviewed the comments in the following discussion, you will see many comments on the different types of surgery people have had or are considering:

The following website explains the different types, advantages and disadvantages of each:

Each surgery has its pros and cons, and not all are options for every individual. The surgeon will probably review options and recommend which ones they think are best for you. I would review the different types and ask why one is better than others in your situation.

I originally was going to have a sleeve in 2013, but the surgeon recommended
Roux-en-Y due to the amount of weight I had to lose.

Do you have one that you think is right for you?
