HELP! ---> RNY vs VSG.. wich works better with comorbidites?
k, this the thing, im 24, 5.2" and 218lbs, you could say im a lightweight...
I suffer from high colesterol and triglicides, my dad has diabietes my mom has high blood presure, i have intense acid reflux (wich i dont know if that im used to it or what, but i dont think is so bad) and i suffer from ALL the symptoms of PCOS but i dont have cyst.
I LOVE sweets, and i dont think im a volume eater, but i do eat a lot of sweets and carbs during the day.
I though that VSG was the right choice for me, but now my surgeon told me, that becuase of my intense acid reflux, i need to do an endoscopie to see how bad it is, and if she founds out that it is bad, she will not do the VSG on me, instead she will recommend the RNY...
im so scare about the malabsorption of the RNY, and that i will have to be on vitamins for the rest of my life, im only 24. I really dont know a lot of info about RNY, could you guys give me your thoughts on this and your feedbacks, and if you can related to my case?
it will be awsome for me to hear the experience of all of you..! thanks!

It sounds like GERD (gastro esophegal reflux disease). It is true that RNY has the best resolution of acid reflux. However, I stongly believe the RNY to be a horrible operation that should not be performed. If you analize a diagram showing the anatomy of a RNY you can see that bypassing the stomach is merely a form of gastric mutilation. Not only is it ineffective long term, but it is completely reckless and down-right dangerous. A roux limb is performed by a sugeon severing the upper portion of your small bowel. A roux limb in itself is just short circuiting your digestive tract.
A sleeve stomach keeps a normal functioning stomach, but it is smaller. Surgeons make the sleeve very small otherwise you would regain once it's at its stretched point. The sleeve streches to about double its initial size after a year.
Another surgery option would be the duodenal switch (DS), but that is a high malabsorbtion procedure which you don't seem interested in. The thing about the DS is that a surgeon can give you a larger stomach, say 5 oz, and malabsorbtion. Having a bigger stomach would reduce the risk of more reflux that would come at the expense of a very tight sleeve.
If were you, I would post on the vsg and ds board to ask about this issue.
