Due to gout problems that are genetic, (Not diet related), my surgeon wants to do VSG instead of RNY because of the malabsorption and he believes my gout could become worse after RNY.

So I guess I have a lot of reading to do as I have been researching RNY non stop.

I’m glad they didn’t cancel or delay my surgery. I was worried because i had to go on prednisone again due to a very bad gout attack.

So my date is still 10/15 and my diet starts on Tuesday.

I hope all my RNY friends the best and I’ll still be around...

Be well!

Best wishes for a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery! You can have amazing results with either surgery, so don't let the change throw you for a loop! You will do great!

Yes it all comes down to your commitment and determination

I had just the opposite. I was set on the sleeve and had to do the bypass because I had severe reflux I wasn't aware of and the sleeve would make that worse. Trust your surgeon, they're experts in this field and they would never guide you the wrong way.

Best of luck...I know it's hard to change but trust your surgeon. MIne changed me from sleeve to RNY. I wish I was getting the sleeve but apparantly I have acid reflux according to my upper GI results.
