VSG Vs RNY Vs Lapband for dummies

Just wanted to share a youtube video I made. It is long but it is jam packed with lots of good information regarding the pros and cons of the different weight loss surgery procedures. If your still researching and trying to figure out which bariatric procedure is best for you than this video should help. I cover all the details of why I feel that the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is the best choice and far superior to all the other procedures.

Heres the video link. http://tinyurl.com/ctmrt8g

Thanks for the extensive video!

I have a question for you which my RNY wife brought up. My doc tried to talk me into the bypass thinking I would not be able to lose the weight with a sleeve. He was wrong. He also said reflux was much more common with the sleeve. That has proven to be true. I had problems with heartburn before the operation and still do.

It seems my worst heartburn comes on an empty stomach. Eating something relieves it.

Any thoughts?

Im sorry to hear about your acid issues. I don't have any advice for you as I do not suffer from acid issues. Are you taking any prescription meds for the acid?

Excellent video very informative for nervous pre-oppers like me. Would you be so kind as to list the vitamin supplements he for me so that I can get a supply. I'm also I relieved to hear I can still take anti inflammatory mess and steroids if I need to.
