I made my decision====and posted a new video
As some of you may know I was rethinking my surgery choice. I was originally going to have the RNY January 09, 2012, but as time was approaching I was having second thoughts.
Now- please understand that I did extensive research on both surgeries prior to selecting the RNY and came down to a personal choice. Now, I have come to the conclussion that the VSG is going to be better option for me. There are several reasons why I want the sleeve initially, but here is one of my biggest reasons:
A lady I work with had gastric bypass almost 10 years ago. She lost a lot of weight but if I had to guess she is probably a size or two smaller than I am now. One day at lunch she mentioned that she wish she could have the RNY at the size she is at NOW. So that really got me to thinking....I know some people do not loose as much as the average statistics say they will. So if I get the sleeve and don't loose enough then I can always have the RNY but if Ido loose enough then YAE ME!!! I kind of like knowing that there is a Plan B if Plan A does not work out so well.
Thank you all for your support, encouraging words and answers to my questions.
Now I am waiting for my surgeon's office to tell me what is next.
You are all awesome people!

Hey there! Glad you made the decision that is best for you. But just as an FYI you still have options after RNY. There are many people I know who get a revision of their RNY. Good luck to you!
