Does any one know what is the best WLS for people with fibromyalgia?

I don't really think it makes any difference since WLS doesn't usually make much if any difference in our fibro. Fibro is a muscle and nerve disorder so weight loss doesn't impact it one way or another. Now if some of your pain is from pressure on your joints that will improve with the weigh loss but as far as what type surgery that's something you have to decide based on the surgery itself and what type you are willing to do. Some folks don't want a terribly invasive surgery where others don't mind if it gets them weight off. I wish you the best on your surgery but in all honestly don't expect it to help your fibro.

That's pretty much what my Dr. told me. He said I may have some relief, but fibro is "weird". Sometimes the symptoms actually may get worse after weight loss!  I am just praying that is not the case for me.
I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me (Phillipians 4:13).

Have to agree with the 'weird' part... however that being said I must admit my fibro is a little less extreme since RNY... joints aren't quite as sore most of the time...
