VSG vs. RNY??

I chose the RNY procedure.  I know me.  I know my downfalls.  I felt that the only way I would really reach my goals and see long term success was with RNY.  I am just short of 9 months out.  I have just 20 lbs to lose until I reach my goal.  I have had no problems with malnutrition, but I am very careful and take my vitamins daily.  I avoid eating foods that are high in fat and sugar so I don't suffer from dumping (the fear of dumping keeps me from eating them).  And just to clarify:  you can take NSAIDS, you would just need to take them with another medication that will protect your stomach.  Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

I had RNY for a few reasons, doctors didn't offer the sleeve, I run the risk of diabetes and this should keep me from getting it.

I think each peson needs to decide what is best for them and go with it. 

I am told a lot I don't eat enough now, which is odd b/c we had surgery because we ate too much of the wrong things! :)

im confused about what to do also. I was sold on the sleeve but also have diabetes . I wis the sleeve cured that because its a lot less risky for things to go wrong. Im waiting until they look down my throat at my gerd to see if I dare do the sleeve. The ryn would cure alot of my problems but might give me a whole new set of things to worry about. Good grief just making this decission is driving me nuts.
