VSG vs. RNY??
I chose the VSG, and am very happy with my choice. For me, I was just too fearful of having my intestines rerouted and the malabsorption. Just do alot of research and decide which surgery would suit you the best. Remember you cannot take NSAIDS after RNY also. That wasn't a big deal in my decision making, but I know it is for some.
Good Luck on making a choice!

My VSG is scheduled for May 23. This was the best option for me because I was really nervous about the malabsorption stuff. But just because this choice was best for me doesn't mean it is best for you! I have family membersand friends who have had different procedures, pushing me to make the same choice they did. But I looked at everything, and the VSG was--and still is--the option I am most comfortable with. This is what I feel has the best chance of working for me.
Good luck choosing the best option for your life and your weight loss goals.

Hey look at that another Grand Health Partners patient! The issue to me came down to the malabsorbtion aspect of the RNY. I did not feel comfortable with that nor did I like that the remander of the stomach was left in place. The sleeve made the most logical sense to me and has a rate of success that is very good. I would, and have, recommended the sleeve to friends and family members.
my ins did not cover VSG so I was stuck with RNY!
VSG is the most up to date and newest form of GBS.! Good luck
