I know I'm a girl but I'll share me opinion anyway. I had the RNY done when I was 22. I chose it for a few reasons. For one, it's the most known, the most researched, the one with the most results. Second, I wanted something I couldn't reverse, take back or cheat at it. I knew if I could get around it some how I would. I needed that true discipline from the gastric bypass. .. Anyway, I'm glad I did it. I've heard too many horror stories about the lap and and the sleeve and the mini-gastric... I had 100% success. I went in weighing an even 300 lbs and today I'm 115.

You made a great choice not getting the lap band. I had it for 19 months which was a complete nightmare. I had revision surgery on April 25 and had bypass done. A 3+ hour surgery took 6+ hours because of all the scar tissue that had to be removed due to the lap band. I ended with 1/3 of my stomach cut out and the bypass.

You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I am new to the forum and I had Revision surgery April 25 (lap band to bypass). It is a struggle but the reward will be great.
