I had RnY by Dr. Chute, and I have been very happy with my decision.  It was important to me to have more reinforcement of good habits, and the RnY gives me that with dumping syndrome and malabsorption.  The sleeve is restriction-only.  If you are a self-disciplined person, you can definitely make that work, I have quite a few friends who are rocking their sleeve.  You know yourself best, and what will work for you. 

I eat pretty normally now, including some sugar things.  I am probably not a person who would live without sugar or sweets for the rest of my life.  But if I eat too much sugar or fat, I definitely feel icky, so I know to stop myself before going too far--mostly.  :-)

If you are nearby, you should definitely come and talk to others at our South of the River coffee group.  We meet every Saturday morning at 8:30 am, either in Eagan or Burnsville.  This coming Saturday, October 5th, we will be in Burnsville, at the Panera in Burnsville Center.  You will know our group because we usually sit just to the right inside the door, and many of us will be sitting with water bottles in front of us.  :-) 

Did you go through with the VSG in MN?  Looking for a surgeon as welll...
