Signed papers and the Dr. advised he was doing an RNY and not a VSG

Signed off all my paper work today.  Met with Monique and Dr. B and all went well...even had a surprise of losing 9 lb.'s from my last visit.  So now waiting for the surgery date! Has anyone here had an RNY?  How different is the recovery, I know I am in the hospital a day longer after surgery.

Are you ok with that?  Did you want the sleeve?  Did he explain why he wants to do that one over the sleeve?

yes I am ok with it.  Itoriginally wanted an rny, but he said a vsg.  Then I had a scope and some biopsies and tests done and he advised I had a significant reflux and hernia that needed to be repaired. And that there was a bit of damage from the reflux.  He then said the only surgery he couls do was the RNY.  We talked about it and I am ok with it. He is fixing everything and assured me I wouldnt have anymore pain or issues with that again.  I know about the rny and am prepared for it.  Can't wait to get this show on the road!...Ry you are going soon!  So exciting I am so happy for you...cant wait to hear how you are doing!

Hi Kim, I am going to sign my consent papers on October 3rd...when you signed yours did they give you any kind of timeline for how quickly the surgeries are being scheduled?

Hi Jen...Co gratis!    The only things they told me was that now it was out of their hands and in or booking...but anywhere from 2- 6 month wait. I figure I have waited this long lolol what's a few more lolol

Hi Jen....did you say you are signing your papers on Oct 3rd.....so am I.  What time are you going?
