Hi There. Thanks for posting your story and thoughts. I have decided to have surgery and I am having some difficulty deciding which procedure to have. I have a surgery date (12/18/09) and all pre-op stuff done. I just seem to not be able to decide. Today, after finding this site and your posts I think I am ready to make my decision. I am leaning toward the VGS. For some reason beyond me, the stats of possibably lossing 10% more weight with the bypass is just nagging at me. I know I shouldn't care, logically that is because no matter which surgery I get the diabeties will most likely be gone as well as all the joint pain and I need to focus on that. The idea of weighing 100 and something puonds is just such a draw for me. I am currently 371 pounds, and I can't believe I waited this long. Anyway I do appreciate your open discussions of your feelings and concerns. Thanks again.:thumbup:
