Hello,
a member many moons ago.. original open Rny 2002
with a weight loss off a 115 lbs. Then 2 children, a bad knee with surgery poor eating habits. Weight gain 50 lbs.
i can not shake it off.. I have failed! I have malabsorption issues with iron, and B-12 so I am infused once to twice yearly.
i am looking for options.. not critics.. I am hard enough on myself.. on suggestions of options..
i have BCBS of Michigan
No. I definitely don't WANT surgery. But I will go through with it if it will help my severe digestive disorders. It has nothing to do with weight regain, which is why I am asking about the amount of weight that is lost because I don't want to become too thin.

I would contact Michelle from Vitalady. She had ERNY and described it as combining the worst of all weight loss surgeries.

I would like to hear your opinion on this. I have spoken with you in the past and you are very knowledgeable. Please tell me why you think ERNY can make it worse. Thank you.

Thankfully no GERD. Thoughts?
My feeling is that I have one more shot at this and really want to make it work.
Thank you.
vsg is a restriction only procedure, like the band. Rny is restriction plus malabsorption.
Were you successful with your band in losing and keeping it off?
if not you might need the rny.
I personally think that revising to ERNY can make your SIBO worse, not better.

Greetings All
I seek your advice and experience in trying to decide between the three options-VSG versus RNY versus DS.
Lap Band placed in 2004 and have lost and gained the same 30lbs. I have decided I need to do something about my 48.8 BMI and comorbidities before its too late. Male, 60 y.o.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

the big question is do you have GERD? If yes, definitely the rny as vsg can make GETD much worse.
