New to Lightweights borad - Having trouble deciding on surgery type.

I suspect the others...the DS'ers and VSG'ers had RH prior to surgery and didn't know what to call it. Most typically it's mild form is just to get super sleepy after a meal. And that is what many people, wls patients and non-wls patients tend to do after eating a very carby meal.

Just saw this:

Yeah, I've heard the back and forth on NSAIDS but the explanation given by someone here about how it entering your blood stream and affecting the blind stomach which can not be protected by a PPI, made me reconsider the RNY more than the RH did. I have to have my NSAIDS.

I thought white carbs (simple, not complex) caused bad gas with the DS worse than with the other surgeries. That's what my DS friends told me and what I saw on the DS board. But it's just white carbs. I know I said "carbs" but I just spaced on that. :-D

I WISH...dh loves pasta and apparently it still loves him. I eat very little so no gas issues either but I am avoiding my blood sugar spiking and then falling...it has a REALLY bad tendency to do that with pasta. Has as long as I have been diabetic. Yes, I have RH but mine is not due to surgery, I've always had it.

Another consideration in choosing a surgery is your need for NSAIDS afterward or later on in life....

The RNY doesn't allow NSAIDS. The others will. I take celebrex daily but to protect my stomach both pre and post op, I also take a PPI.

 Oh, that's a good one... I totally forgot that one.
