I sometimes wonder about the DS, but my surgeon doesn't do those. My insurance only covered lad band and RNY. I'm quite happy with my RNY. Jules

I think I would have strongly considered the DS; however....I don;t think I would want to take more vitamons and stuff than I do now....But I sure would like to eat more than I can :o( Wait....wasn't that why I had this surgery in the first place? RNY has definatley taught me portion control....so I am happy with the choice I made.

I went to the Dr wanting lap band, then insurance said ok we will pay but go for the RNY I said no I want lap band. So after getting the BMI under 50 they said ok. I do sometimes think would all the weigh be gone by now!? I am glad I got the lap band though because I have lost slow enough that no one suppects I had surgery. They all think its all will power and I have not shared I had surgery with any one but my close family! Karen

I at times think I was biased on the RNY and did not research other options as much as I should have...but I am pretty happy with my choice overall.

No regrets here!

I went into the process wanting the lap, but in the end had RNY and am COMPLETELY satisfied and do not regret my decision! I

When I started there wasn't much choice, so not then. Now I wish I could have lapband on top of my RNY so I can go in for a fill... lol! I hope you're having a good day! Sheryl

So far this is a lot more work than I thought it would be. I was hopeing a few days ago that I would be having a little more restrictions, but as soon as I wished that, I have dumped for the first times, 3 times this week and it sucks!! So I am ok now, but I think I am feeling the restrictions I wanted with my RNY. So as of right now I am ok with my choice

Totally happy with my decision. I needed the restriction that RNY offered.

Had never really thought about any other type of surgery. I am happy with what I have had. I know personally for me the band would not have been a good choice. Other then that I am happy with my open RNY. Sally
