I am thinking of having gastric sleeve surgery, what are the pros & cons? What is the best way to proceed?

The best thing I did was to read through all the posts in the vertical sleeve thread. Watch as many you tube videos as you can stand (some are better than others).

Click on the search icon (magnifying glass) on the tool bar and search VSG vs. RNY and/or Duodenal switch.  It will list all the threads that have come up on this topic over the last several years.

 

5' 5" tall. VSG on August 4, 2015/ Starting weight 239.9/ Surgery weight 210.9/ Current weight 137.4/ Goal weight 140/ No longer overweight, now a NORMAL weight. Now that I'm at goal, it's time to move on to maintenance!!!!!!!!

Go up to the Forums section and then to the Vertical Sleeve group.  They are very active.  Next, check out the wls regrets and the wls revisions forums and see posts from those who are not singing praises anymore.
