RNY VS SlEEVE
I had RNY and am very happy. You might get better response going to the individual VSG and RNY forums and asking why people did it. For me part of it was my niece had lost 120 pounds and has kept it off 10-11 years now... also the RNY is tried and true, been around longer than the sleeve. I had/have a lot to lose and wanted the advantage of malabsorption even if it doesn't last forever.... You can also search ... up in the right hand corner is a little magnifying glass. If you click on it and search this topic you will find plenty of information.

I had the RNY and have been very happy with my results, but you need to remember that the RNY means you can never take oral NSAIDS again due to the possibility of ulcers at the stoma surgical site. The Sleeve means you still have the pyloric valve at the outlet of the stomach which allows NSAIDS. This can be handy if you ever need to take pain/inflammation meds like Aleve, etc.
Definitely check the orther forums on this site. See at the top of the page where it says "Forums" and click on the menu.
Not just oral NSAIDs. It doesn't matter how NSAIDs get into your bloodstream, they still have the same effect. They thin the mucosal lining of the digestive tract, whether you're swallowed, rubbed on, injected, or given via an IV. Also, it's not just the stoma---you can also develop ulcers in the remnant stomach, which can't be 'scoped.
