Decision Time... Surgery Tomorrow!

Well, my surgery is tomorrow! I am so excited and am getting really nervous now too. I had been planning on getting VSG for the past 6 months. At my preop appt. 2 weeks ago, my surgeon highly suggested that I consider RNY based on some medical issues and some social issues as well. My head has been spinning for the past 2 weeks trying to figure out exactly which surgery to get. And being on a liquid diet during this time hasn't helped one bit... lol ;) I have researched and read as much as I could. I have talked to everyone I know that has had bariatric surgeries. I wish I had a crystal ball to tell me what is best.

Has anyone else been in this position? Any words of wisdom?

  • I know that through research you can't "cheat " with the rny like you can with the sleeve and lap band

  • I was having this discussion with Dr and then dietician (She played devils advocate). This after my own studies on them. I am sticking with RNY. It's best for me, partly for the strictness withknow

  • Last year I wanted the band but then realized it was not going to be enough for me. I need the dumping and the fear of stretching the pouch out. Also not a fan of the whole port thing with the band.
