Hi, for context I am 6’0 460 lbs BMI 60-61. I have completed the process for bariatric surgery and now I can have it done. My doctor recommended the bypass and I was comfortable with it originally and now I’m having second thoughts and thinking about the sleeve. I am on medication for anxiety and depression and I am very worried about what malabsorption will do to my mental health and future health down the line (osteoporosis, etc.). I’d love the thoughts and opinions of people who may be in the same boat who chose an alternate route then what was recommended or who have been through the process. How’s your health long term? How are your vitamin levels? I have to travel in April for a long period of time…

My big concern is also that he said essentially if I do sleeve I’ll have to eventually have another surgery to lose the “rest” of the weight that I’ll still have on me. I have to make a decision by tomorrow and my head is spinning! ANYTHING helps! Please put your opinions or ideas of stories here and let me know! Thanks!
