Why did you choose to have RNY, Band or VSG or DS?

I know this question had been asked before but, why did you choose the certain method that you did?

To be honest with you I chose RNY because it was the most common wls and when I researched it I thought it fit all my needs and wants.  I thought all of the wls would work but RNY would work best for me. 

I second Highly Favored...I originally wanted the Lapband and my Dr. advised that RNY would be better and I am happy I made the decision...I have no regrets this far and am VERY happy with my results.

I chose the Laparoscopic RNY because my insurance did not cover the Lap-band at that time, but in the end I was glad I had the RNY. 

I didn't have a choice, open RNY is all that the baratric program I went through and that my insurance covered offered. I have no regrets about it. Plus a tummy tuck is included with the program.  

"Plus a tummy tuck is included" thats good ish.

This crazy thing is that I JUST now got a call from my PCP, and I can schedule a consult with the P.S. next week!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!! 

I was choosing the Realize band.  When I went to the mandated seminar I heard a lady tell my story.  With all my other medical issues RNY is best for best results of removal.  In addition, my Dr. suggested RNY due to my type 2. 

I did have the choices of all the WLS's available at the time and I decided to go with Lap-Band for several reasons; lower complications, minor hair loss if any and I know I don't like taking pills and I knew taking lots vitamins would be hard for me.  I am happy with my success as well if I had to do it all over again I would still choose the band.  However, I would follow the rules for longer than what I originally did.  Best of luck to you.

I choose RNY because it had two things over Lap that I liked which were no repeat visits for fills which would have ment more money comey out of my pocket.  Also because of my lupus I am at the doctors so much that I dread going so cutting down on doctor visits is a major plus for me.
