Vertical Sleeve Vs. Traditional Bypass

Because of insurance restrictions, the traditional gastric bypass may be my only option. I would appreciate any advice anyone has regarding the traditional bypass surgery and complications and success stories. Thanks. Christi

    Your best bet will be to go to a gastric bypass forum and ask. I don't think anyone here will have an RNY since sleeve isn't a revision option from RNY (meaning if you've had RNY to be able to give advice, you won't be able to have a sleeve).

    You might be able to find topics like Why I chose sleeve over bypass or Which WLS is better but even those are going to give advice/feedback that implies a choice. If you are RNY or nothing, then go to the source. :) (I'm pretty sure this board will have an RNY counterpart... yep, I checked for you and it does. http://www.rnytalk.com/
