Dt1981 reacted to Dt1981 in Please help meOk, so here it is, I am 29 years old, I am currently 6'2 and 435lbs. I was 575lbs in January but have lost 140lbs on my own and can no longer lose anything no matter what i do. I haven't been able to lose anymore for a couple months and finally decided I am sick of this yoyoing and need to make a change so I started researching wls and the only one I really feel good about is VSG and I don't know if I can have it. I am seeing the NP @ the surgeon's office on Friday and my GI tomorrow, but I am freaking out. I have GERD, Barrett's Esophagus, hiatal hernia, Crohn's Disease and a tumor in my small intestine(undetermined, what this is). I really can't take living like this anymore. I am supposed to start nursing school in March and need to get things going. But, I heard with Crohn's you can't have RNY and with Barrett's, you can't have VSG. What is a guy supposed to do? I don't know if anyone has gone through this, or had my plethora of problems, but I would appreciate any input, help, or support. Thanks in advance.
