If you are on Dilantin, I'm guessing you have epilepsy.  A member of another group that I belong to got a VSG as RNY can mess up how you absorb your Dilantin.  There are numerous studies that VSG is better than RNY when on Dilantin,  so you may want to discuss VSG with your surgeon when you meet him/her.  My friend did Optifast with no issues at all.
