the lack of malaborption would be one reason for me to have chosen the sleeve over the RNY,

I do have hypothyroidism, so I think the malabsorption could be a problem for me.

this is good to know , thank you!
I had never heard of the sleeve until I went into my insurance office and they asked me which surgery I was getting. They are the ones that told me the sleeve has approval (only within the last year for TriCare)
I was also the first person to tell my nutritionist and psychologist about it. They had never heard of it and started googling it the moment I mentioned it!lol
The one thing that bothers me is that I can't seem to find any info past 3 years...I am hoping my Dr has more info on long term effects.
Thanks for all the input, it's a life long decision and I want to make the right choice (don't we all )
