    Yay!! Congratulations to all of you who are pregnant! I actually am hoping to get this surgery to improve my fertility chances. The doctor said to wait 18 months after surgery to start trying to maximize weight loss, but I'm glad that those who got pregnant earlier didn't have any complications. Keep us posted!

    @@Smdnght28 I'm going to talk to my doc about recovery time for RNY and his experience with GERD for the VSG patients. I only have a small window (a couple of weeks) for recovery, and I hear that it's quicker with sleeve, but it's good for me to ask him. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I thought you wouldn't have dumping with the sleeve, but after reading the forums for the last couple of months, it seems that you can have dumping with sleeve too, it just depends. Seems ppl with the sleeve do a lot more throwing up than the other thing, and I've seen them calling the vomiting dumping. I'd rather *!*! then vomit. At first I thought it was cool that my surgeon was pushing the sleeve, but now I'm not sure. I know he only did like 3 bypasses in the past year to like 200 sleeves, so that doesn't give a vote of confidence on him doing the bypass if I chose that.

    I'm back and forth between rny and the sleeve. RnY is the gold standard and has the most research, but the sleeve is less invasive. I have mild acid reflux (the first consult I went recommended the RnY because of that.) The second surgeon which I chose pushes sleeve and you have to convince him to do RNY bc the results are the same two years out. I'm still deciding, but right now leaning towards the sleeve. Ask me next week, and that may change lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    My friend is the same age as you, and she had diabetes to the point where she was taking insulin 3x a day. She had the RnY bc it is known to eliminate diabetes whereas with the sleeve, you still may or may not have to take the medication. She's doing great and had lost over 100 pounds. It's just something to consider when you have diabetes. Good luck with your decision. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
