Hi all...well tomorrow will be 1 year since I was sleeved....and I have lost a total of 40 lbs. I work out everyday, do my water and protien and I am still not losing. At first it was ok about the weight as the inches were dropping...now the inches aren't dropping any more.
Should I consider a RNY? I see my surgeon on Thursday and want to let him know my concern and interest.
Thank you!
Sabrina

  

  I may be in Georgia, but Florida's on my mind!!!

Hello Sabrina,
The VSG is a part of the Duodenal switch operation. Instead of a VSG to RNY revision, you should consider a  completion to DS.

Do your research, seem opinions from surgeons that do both surgeries.

Good luck.
