I chose the MGB because of it's success rate, it can be revised and reversed if necessary.  The surgery takes only 30 minutes or so and recovery is quick.  There isn't a whole lot that I don't like about it.  I am nine years post-op and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

 Hi!
There are several surgeries to choose from. The information here at this site is very helpful.

I had an RNY 14 years ago. If I knew then what I know now- I would not have had that one done.
It was the surgery to have and although many people have had great long term success, I did not. And it's not just the fact that I eventually gained weight back, it's the fact that I have so many other physical problems from the initial surgery. I have done more indepth research this time and after speaking to my Dr and his assistant, I think I am making the right choice this time around (VSG)

Most important think you can do is be educated and have a good Dr who can listen to you and know which surgery will work for you long term.
