Is the gastric sleeve or balloon better for me?

bellajenne09
I'm 33 5'1 and 290 pounds I'm very overweight and am seriously considering weightless surgery. I want to weigh between 120 to 140 because I'm short so that means I'd like to loose around 160 pounds or more. What will be better gastric sleeve or gastric balloon? How much weight can you loose with the balloon? I'm kind of scared of anything invasive but don't know what other options are ok
