I had RNY at 195. I am now 126. It is a struggle to keep from regaining. With RNY your weight loss will stop when your body is ready to stop losing. You will not become too skinny. At 5'2 my BMI is about 23. Not skinny at all.

Well, I'm still undecided even after all this time b/c I have less than 100 lbs to lose. Maybe according to the BMI chart, but I only want to lose 65 lbs. Therefore, I'm leaning towards the sleeve.
I should have gone with RNY to start with. But anyway, If I had a 100 lbs to lose now, It would be a no brainer.
Good Morning All,
I too have fallen off the wagon. Day of Surgery (372) lowest (189). Now (217). 5 years out. I'm not as motivated or committed. Have gym membership but ride right by. I will have to buy a new wardrobe if this keeps up. I need to stop eating after 8pm and keep my intake around 1800 calories.
Too skinny?Hah!Maybe I should go for the RNY.I gotta get this band out and a revision.I was thinking sleeve but bypass is a consideration.
I've heard that RNY and the sleeve both have good results, But I've also heard that you basically will lose more weight and faster weight with RNY. I don't have a lot of weight on, I'm more concerned about my diabetes. I once went in to talk to my Dr. about having RNY and when he left the room, his nurse told me "you're going to be super skinny, why don't you get the sleeve?". Well, at that time my insurance wasn't paying for it but now they are. I'm just afraid of losing too much with Rny. I'm also afraid of acid reflux with the sleeve as well as living with my comorbidities. So I'm a little scared right now.
I am post op RNY; went through the Kaiser plan. Maintaining my journey daily. Good luck to you too.
I am pro RNY. No matter what you choose, remember, all WLS are serious. One is not better than the other, they just are different and people got one or the other mostly based on meds they need to take and post op meds they have to continue. Since my RNY, I lost all excess weight and a little more. Knowledge is power and check everywhere you can for the different points of view. I was taking insulin 3x a day, GERD, HBP, High cholesterol, bad knees and just hurting from the extra weight. My BMI was 50+ and today ranges in the low 20s. No meds post op. Good luck on your journey.
