My son was debating the vertical sleeve vs RNY, can you share your reasons for chosing the sleeve.

Thank you.

For me, I think it will be an easier revision since my stomach will have a lot of scar tissue from the band.  I have heard many great things about the sleeve.  Most of the reccomendations I get are from former bandsters....and they are thrilled. 

I think RNY is great, also....I am not sure which I would choose, had I never been banded.  Hope he finds the right WLS for him!!

Exciting!  I am really happy for you!  I am also considering getting the VSG!  I fear RNY and would like to have something more permanent.  So far, no problems with my LapBand, but I hate to push the limits.

You're very fortunate!  April 3rd is almost here!

12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.
