Which surgery did you have and why?
From everything I've read on the forums over the years I've been here, it definitely sounds like RNY is the right choice for you given your medical history!

I had VSG because I have auto immune disease and needed to be able to take NSAIDs and steroids if needed. I have had slight GERD in the past, so there was a slight concern about that, but it was always easily managed with meds and likely caused by being overweight. I have to be on PPIs anyway because of my meds for the auto immune, and have had no reflux issues post-op.
VSG is not the only option with auto immune, several people here have shared they had RNY and have had excellent results, VSG is just the one I and my medical team decided on. Every patient is different. :)
