Research and questions

Damn that's a lot of exercise! When do you find time to sleep! LOL, but really good for you if you enjoy it, you want to keep it up, so I can understand your reluctance to cut back on your calories so that you can keep up your routine, but you may have to if you want to get the weight off.

I had the VSG so I can't speak with any real authority on the RNY. From what I understand you'll malabsorb calories & nutrients for about a year, but the malabsorption from calories will stop after awhile, so you'll have to be really careful.

As far as I can tell it really comes down to what you put in your mouth that'll get the weight off. Good Luck to you!

With the way this specific doctor does the surgery, I'm not sure how you could eat too much. He turns the stomach into a tube, like you see in the sleep gastectomy and sleeve bypass. So over eating, theoretically, should be impossible.  I will ask about long term, but if I remember correctly, he's not had anyone regain their weight (that reports back to him yearly as required) with this surgery and he's been doing it for 15 years.

Ok, are you getting the sleeve, where you get the tubed stomach, or are you getting the rny, where you get a pouch & a remnant stomach. People who have the sleeve are not bypassed. I think you're confusing the 2 procedures.

You can eat around any wls no matter how small your sleeve is or how small your pouch is. Regain is possible, check out the search button on top & type it in. Many, many people have regained their weight & more, but often it's due to poor food choices., not the surgery.

I think you're gonna have to do a bit more research about the different procedures b4 you start worrying how it'll affect your exercise routine.

I am not confusing the two procedures. I went to the seminar and I am looking a their printed manual right now. Their Roux en Y is done very similar to the sleeve gastric bypass, however it has the additional cut that moves part of the intestines. 

You keep saying sleeve gastric bypass. I have never heard that term.

I've heard of VGB, but from what I've read it's more of a revisional type of surgery. I think people get that done when their sleeve becomes an hour glass shape. I just never heard of that being done on a virginal stomach.

The sleeve gastric bypass is similar to the sleeve gastectomy except that they don't remove the stomach just separate it the same way they do in the Roux en Y. The main difference is there are fewer cuts in the intestines with the sleeve gastectomy when rerouting the stomach.

 The traditional sleeve,(VSG) which is what I have, is not bypassed. There's no rearrangement of the intestines, it sounds like you're not having the traditional VSG, but some kind of hybrid of the rny & vsg. VGB? I think when you keep calling it the sleeve, that's what's throwing people off since most who get the sleeve are not bypassed.

I'd wonder why get that kind of surgery.Especially as a first surgery. I thought that would be more of a revisional surgery.

You can gain weight no matter what surgery you get. If you truly believe you cannot, you will not be successful long-term.

If he is saying NONE of his patients have regained, he is lying.

He said that he has not had any of them who have followed the regimen and kept in contact with him, regain the weight. He has had a couple of cases of non-compliance and people who do not return for their yearly checkups.
