RNY or Sleeve?? with pregnancy 18 mos after hopefully

Having trouble deciding on if I want to get a RNY or Sleeve surgery done...... where I live these are the only surgeries done (and lap band but don't want that) and the decision of what surgery you want in completely up to you once the surgeon clears you for surgery.

I need to have significant weight loss before I can get pregnant again, as with my son I was very high risk and he was born early

Ideally I have 150lbs to lose but definatively 100lbs is my final goal ..... I am a volume eater so the sleeve would help..... but I am also a big sweets eater, so leaning towards the RNY for that reason 

So wondering what the other moms out there have experienced....... would you have your surgery again..... would you of picked a different surgery..... and any other things you have to say

Thks

Someone just asked this same question yesterday so scroll down and read those responses as well--I had RNY, sleeve was just starting to be offered when I had surgery.   Just know that only about 30% of post RNY patients do actually dump--and not all on sweets, some dump from fats--there is no guarentee you will dump.  I think if I had surgery now I would do sleeve since it doesn't have the lifelong malabsorption of vitamins that rny has.

I had rny and I do not dump at all and I never had. Ill be a year out in feb and If I were to eat say 3 cookies id be completly fine which sucks I wish I dumped sometimes.. But Say I drank a glass of milk then Id get very sick to my stomach but not dump. Everyones different. I would Look up the pros and cons to both procedures and make ur dec that way .. Good luck

In case you didn't see the post below...

I have a sleeve, so I can answer from my perspective.

First off, I don't think either surgery is better than the other, they're just different, as are all of us.  So, it is a matter of finding what is right for you.  I chose sleeve because I was concerned about malabsorbtion down the road (was only 27 when I decided to have surgery).  Like you, I wanted safe pregnancies after surgery, and was generally looking for a surgery that I felt would leave me the most "normal".  I liked that the sleeve would allow my body to absorb nutrients normally, does not have side effects like dumping, and allows a wide variety of food choices.  I didn't want to worry about food getting "stuck", or finding myself at a birthday party with my kids and being the "weirdo" who can't eat pizza.  Again, I stress that these were all my own personal thoughts. 

I was a light weight, but I was almost at goal at 6 months when I decided to start trying for a baby.  I got pregnant right away and had a super easy, healthy pregnancy.  I've never had any regrets about my surgery choice.  I know lots of people lose just as much weight with sleeve and RNY, perhaps even at the same pace.  I think most of that comes down to the level of work you put in post-op.  I'm now 2 years out from surgery and I love how "normal" I feel.  I never have to worry about what foods I can or can't eat, or how I'm going to react to something.  I'm below my original goal weight, wearing smaller clothes than I ever imagined possible, and I'm maintaining easily.  For me, sleeve was 100% the right choice.

Good luck with whatever you chose!

Well, I had that exact question. 

I spoke with my doctor at the clinic yesterday and her answer for me was that I am young enough (25) to not have to worry about which surgery is best. I will be fine either way. After 12-18 months my body will be stable enough to have kids. Yes, I'll have to take supplements, but that's about it. She told me to choose the surgery that is best for me. Which, based on the speed of weight loss, I am pretty sure I am decided on RNY (I meet with the surgeon for the first time tomorrow morning).

She knows that my goal is to get pregnant as soon as she gives me the all clear, but that at this point in time I shouldn't even be thinking about babies. My number one goal right now is losing the weight.

My thinking is, talk to your doctor/surgeon. Each person is different and they will have different ideas of what was right for them.

Good luck!!!
