Welcome!  You say your BMI isn't high enough for VSG but they'll ok the RNY?  That's interesting. 

Surgery choice is very personal and at the time I decided, my only options were the Band and RNY....given that I had a high amount of weight to lose and I had a major sweet tooth.  I felt that I needed restriction, malabsorption  and the fear of dumping to keep me in check.

yea my bmi is 43 the ins lady at the doctors office said my bmi had to be 50 for the sleeve. and like you i do love me some sweets.

Hey, just wanted to say congrats to you.

Thank you! 

Congratulations.  It took me a minute to figure out what had changed then it hit me.  LOL

Welcome!!

YO WHAT UP I TOO STRUGGLED WITH THE DECISION AND RNY WON HANDS DOWN DUE TO THE MALAB AND ATLEAST THE FEAR OR THE POSSIBILITY OF THE INFAMOUS DUMPING. LIKE UR SELF I AM A SERIOUS SWEET EATER. NOT A LOT OF MEN DUMP BUTGUESS WHAT I WILL TAKE MY CHANCES. PEACE AND MAY UR DECISIOK BE THE BEST ONE FOR U.

Hello and welcome.

Hello.  Surgery choice is personal.  Just pick the one you think you can live with and which will bring you closest to your goals.
