I have heard that the VSG surgery is, to date, the best, most succesful surgery so far.  Can anyone tell me where I can find the success rates of all three weight loss surgeries-VSG, DS and RNY???

I dont know if you received an answer, as this board isn't really active. I admit I am on OH daily, but don't stop in here often.

VSG is considered a newer surgery and doesn't have the historical information, that RNY and DS have. Both of those surgeries can provide you data around the average excess weight loss, weight regain at 5 years post op, or 10 years post op. As well as some long term information around the percentage if cured comorbidities. Dsfacts.com is a great resource for informtion about the DS.

I would suggest posting this same question to the main board, where there are a lot of folks with every surgery type to provide you feedback. There are also boards for each surgery type where you will get a lot of information about the specific surgeries.

Surgery choice is a very personal thing, I don't know that there is one surgery that is the absolute best for everyone.

Best of luck on your journey!
