My band was removed 2 years ago after 7 years of issues and complications. I always planned on revising to VSG at some point. Now that the time has come, I am not sure if that is the right choice.
Several of my band friends have revised to VSG and the feedback has been less that stellar, with one friend actually telling me she wouldn't do it.
I have two friends that have had the RNY and have had good success. But neither of them are a revision.
I have a sweet tooth. I have PCOS. I developed GERD with the band. I have 230 pounds to lose. All reasons to lean towards RNY.
I am just more comfortable with VSG for some reason. RNY still scares the bejeezes out of me. But I don't want to make another colossal mistake like I did with the band. I am concerned that the scarring from the band will affect results with the VSG. My surgeon recommends RNY for me.
Anyway, long post to basically ask:
Do you regret revising to VSG and wish you had done RNY? Your reasons?
If you are happy with your revision to VSG, did scarring from the band affect your new journey?
