Hey pals, I had surgery June 23rd at 9:30am. I stood 1 day in the hospital than came home. I have been making great progress day by day... Still having some gas pains and haven't had any bowel movements but that will come... Overall I'm feeling better than I've heard others feel, I'm just tired of liquids I want some puréed food already I feel like I need more variety. In time I know lol.... So how are y'all feeling?

So glad to hear your good and well and that doc choi is great! I wanted to ask you, during pre-op did they do an endoscopy and colonoscopy on you? DR. Choi advised me to have RNY but I would like vsg. Why did u decide to get RNY vs vsg?

I had to have an endoscopy to check for ulcers and damage caused by my heartburn, I had wanted Rny from the start and dr choi recommended it because of my bad heartburn... If I had gotten the sleeve I would of had to take omeprazole for life.... Hope that helps answer your questions.... Also a friend of mine had the sleeve and regrets not picking the Rny because of the slow weight loss I guess.... Good luck!

Thanks Amanda!

I was told the same as Amanda
