Topic: RE: VSG Regrets?
I had the RNY almost 2 months ago, so I don't have any experience to give you, but I do have a few bits of info to share. Here is a comparison chart of the surgeries:
http://www.lapsf.com/weight-loss-surgeries.html
Weight regain may be more likely than in other procedures if dietary modifications not adopted for life on VSG. Utilized for high risk or very heavy (BMI > 60 kg/m2) patients as a "first-stage" procedure.
I've read that a lot of VSG end up doing DS or RNY because they gain back the weight they lost or just aren't happy with the VSG. Yes, RNY is a permanent thing and there is malabsorption. But if you stay current with your bloodwork and labs and take the correct vitamins, you should be fine. I'm so glad I did the RNY!! 50 lbs gone in less than 2 months!!!

My doctor told me that the gastric sleeve is not yet being covered by insurance. Have you heard differently?

I should have looked at the date. Didn't realize how old this thread was. Sorry everyone.

Omigod, shut up. Her mom died. Nice way to pour salt in the wound.
It's funny how people say things like, "No offense but...", or "I'm not attacking you but..." just before or immediately following either offending or attacking someone. If you don't agree with what she has to say, fine. There are other places here to rant without hijacking someone's post about their dead mother. NO OFFENSE but you're making yourself look like a mean-spirited jerk.

Topic: RE: Does anyone wish they had never gone through WLS?
I have not had my surgery yet, but the doctor I will probably use (at a center of excellence) talked about the vertical pouch. He said he thought that in a few years it would replace the lap band, because it does the same thing without the ring around the stomach. Similar to the band, it does not remove intestines or create malabsorption issues. He does not personally do any lap band surgeries anymore, because he feels the sleeve and RNY are overall better procedures.
On the other hand, he said that if he was having the surgery (as 5 of his staff have), he would get the RNY. All of his staff have.
Just some more info...
