isn't the gastric sleeve where they take part of your stomach out and THROW IT AWAY?
hell no if that is the case - do the RNY, gold standard. even though it is perm, you COULD in theory have a revision to "fix" the rerouting of your insides if there was something life threatening that happened. while we think of the RNY as permenant (99.99 percent of the time it is and should be - its a major surgery to reverse) there is just something crazy to me about taking part of the stomach out and tossing it...
you can't get that part of the stomach that they took out and threw in the trash back!
