Very curious! My sister had the VSG, and I have the RNY. We were talking today about who is MORE at risk of stretching....rny patients or sleeve patients? Anyone want to guess on this one? I think it would make more sense for a pouch to stretch rather than a sleeve, but I could be wrong!

I'm curious to know also.

It's just so interesting to me!

they both can and will stretch...I have a friend with Sleeve and sister in-law with RNY they both stretch.....

Vsg is bound to stretch more than an rny pouch. Reason being is the hormone that's released its just reduced but comes back with the vsg therefore the vsg soul stretch nearly to the size itwas before. As a pouch doesn't have any of the greater curve its not nearly going to stretch as much although they both stretch as long as you do what your surgeon tells you it shouldn't stretch barely if at All.

Well my Cousin had the Sleeve two years ago and she thought hers had stretched out cuz she started gaining and got Checked, well it didn't stretch The Dr said since she got off of program (STARTED EATING ALL THE WRONG FOODS) is why she gained weight!! Buyer be where!!

After researching the best surgery to undergo for medication absorption due to an autoimmune disorder and longevity for surgery weight loss, studies show stretching is based on the person and how you follow the program, if you eat all the wrong foods , amounts,that would stretch your pouch or sleeve, such as pop, carbonated beverages, starches, fried,drink with straws both are bound to stretch in the long run.....however very very hard to achieve, it's weight gain is usually due to eating the wrong.foods high calorie beverages, and no excercise, so getting back to basics usually gets your tool back into shape.

Sleeve

The sleeve, but I opted for the rny because I wanted more agressive means for weight loss, you can always go from sleeve to rny.in the future if you , your surgeon and your insurance allow you decide .
