RNY on 04/23/13
I have a lapband but feel the RnY would have been a better option for me.
Can anyone answer these to help me consider:
1. Comparison between each surgery (reg, pain, recovery, complications)
2. Why you had the RnY after Lap?
3. Initial and longer term weight loss?
4. Eating and dietary differences
5. Did you band work by restriction or feeling of fullness?
6. Can you abuse your RnY like you can with a band (choco/icecream etc)
7. How much maintenance does the RnY need in comparison to the
lapband?
Thanks alot.
Hi Michelle,
I have read your posts a lot, good advice for all of us. I have a question for you, I hope you know the answer. Once you have been filled to the maximum capacity on your band, how do you maintain restriction? Generally how many fills does a person get with the band over the long haul? Thanks for your time and information. Tammy
