Did you get a VGS instead of RNY because your BMI?

Thank you! It's a journey and I'm travelling along it with all the ups and downs that come :)

This post is a few months old but I am adding to it for those reading it for the first time. (I use the RNY forum most often because it is the more active but sometimes feels like lack of understanding from the super obese viewpoint; my BMI was in the 60's with complete absence of normalcy). The center for weight management I went to had a veteran surgeon who was willing to perform RNY even though I was high risk. Had he performed the duodenal switch, I would have been a willing candidate. I lost over 200 pounds total with regain of 40 due to weakening in the maintaining marathon. I stumble often but keep going with plans to never give up even if it means revision surgery.
