Im not sure which one is best for me I need some opinions of ppl that are post op.. Please and thanks.

I did tons of research and found out that sleeve patients lose less, but also regain less over the long run, while rny patients lose more much more rapidly, but also tend to regain more....the weight loss for rny is still greater. The deciding factor for me was the lack of long-term data on the sleeve...only about 8 years. I wasn't comfortable with that. I also liked the added bonus of the malabsorption with rny. While this means we need to be vigilant about nutrient intake, it also means we simply absorb fewer calories. This makes me be mindful of every bite I put in my mouth. Dumping can also be an "attractive" deterrent for some, although since many don't dump, it can't be relied upon. Whatever you decide, best of luck!

Just be warned, many many people do not dump, you can't really rely on that as an effective weight loss tool because there's a very good chance you won't be a dumper.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
