Met with my surgeon today I was surprised that she did not push for the RNY she told me that I was a perfect candidate for either surgery. My stats are 40 yr old female, 245lbs, 5ft 5, type 2 diabetes on insulin, PCOS, IBS, back and hip pain. Because of the diabetes this is why I thought the RNY was good for me, however after her explaining the complications to my husband and I I think we felt more comfortable with the less invasive Sleeve. I know my husband was at ease with that decision he was a little nervous about me having my insides rearranged. I am just hoping I made the right decision I am scheduled for October 14th. She asked me what do I want out of this surgery and that is how to determine which is best for me, I told her I just want to be healthy I don't care if I ever weigh 120lbs I just want to live a better quality of life.... Anyone else have diabetes and similar stats to me have success with the sleeve ?? Am I making the right choice...

I'm lots older than you, was 50 pounds heavier and the same height. I was insulin dependant. I am 7 months out, down 89 pounds and was taken off all diabetes medications including insulin when I started my 2 week pre surgery diet. I'm still insulin free and my A1c is normal and my glucose readings are stable throughout the day. I love what the sleeve is doing for me. Hope this helps and wishing you well with whichever surgery you choose.

Thank you for your reply this makes me feel better. Congratulations on your success keep up the good work. ????
