I just want to say thank you Vicki, I was refeard to this sight because all I want was to hear the bad and the good, no one on the IN sight ever said much about the problems from the surgery. And when I ask some lady more or less said everyone dies.... well I don't want to die to do this my bmi is only 40 , the main reason I wanted it is becasue I go to the doctor for my feet, my knees and my back, and they all say lose the weight that is the most important thing you can do, I dont want to be in the pain I am but, I don't want to die or be in more pain from complacations and I just wanted to know if the problems really out way the surgery. Thank you PS.... I do want to be alot smaller also , but want the body to stop aching....

Yes I would still like to have the surgery, but not so sure on the rny at this time, I am not sure if my doctor does the distil but i am going to check it out.
