I can't add people, I'm sure you Just search MGB there are 2 groups one says weight loss after it, the other is just the letters, both are good.  I was banded first and did great! The sleeve was terrible for me, MGB is different, for one its the malabsorption that my weight loss comes from and not restriction which I usually have very little of.  I can eat anything /everything, sometimes a "normal" size portion sometimes I get stuck on just a few bites.  I do dump and have to watch my food choices when I'm away from home especially ! Everything I eat moves very quickly through me, and boy when it does ! My husband has said he is building me my own bathroom out behind our house ! Lol my bypass is around 9' so a little longer than most because I'm a revision which is what's recommended by Dr. Rutledge.  

I realize it has been over a year since you have posted this, however I had my MGB July 16, 2003 so I am one of the longer term MGBer.

I had mine done in the U.S. not in Mexico.  I have not had any problems regarding cancer.   I have maintained my weight loss for the past almost 13 years.  No ulcers, no cancer no leaks not bile reflux.  In the time since my surgery I needed iron infustions one time and that was about 7 years ago.  My highest weight was 240 lbs now 130 lbs.  I am a believer in the mgb.  

Even if this is way too late it might help someone else.

Yes if done correctly MGB will fix GERD, I'm doing great almost 1 yr out, it's a lot different than the sleeve ! I'm 7 lbs from goal and happy with my decision ! There is a closed FB group called MGB, ask to join and I would be happy to answer questions.  The page has a lot of great information ! 

I know this is an old post but rny does not have as long of a bypass they go further down with a mini gastric bypass

How much is you goal?   My BMI is 27 and I'd like to lose 50 pounds and did not lose anything with my sleeve only. I also love to walk but quit smoking 9 mos ago and having problems gaining wt. any ideas would be great.
