I am scheduled for what was supposed to be an RNY surgery on 8/18, but after seeing my surgeon for my pre-op appt., he now says I might have to have a VSG. He won't know until he goes in. He needs to see if my surgery for pyloric stenosis at age 6 weeks old, and my C-section, have left any adhesions.

Has anyone else had this happen? I thought I'd better read up on VSG, since it might be a possibility. I've heard that you don't lose as much or as fast as the RNY. Does it cure diabetes like the RNY?

Looking for any information. Thanks! :clap2:

I am currently in the process of visiting all the doctors that are required during this journey. My research and gut tell me the Sleeve is for me. However, my surgeon specializes in RNY but will do the Sleeve if that's what I want. I keep second guessing myself that I might do better with RNY. I just don't like all the complications associated with RNY, especially the long term (3 - 5+ years).

This thread has convinced me that the Sleeve is the way to go. I will be successful with the Sleeve!

Thanks to all for your invaluable input.

Blessings,

JoAnne
