I spoke to 3 different people @ my surgeons office. I told them how I felt about RNY, and how I felt about VSG. I really don't know If my health Insurance will cover VSG. As far as I can see my Insurance covers RNY. I still think I will be happy with the out come from either.

I have an appt with my Surgeon on July 28th. It will be a sit down about my concerns and feeling on RNY and VSG. Also an explanation of both from my surgeon. There is some anticipation about the outcome. Some reasurrance will be great.

Coming on here for information and checking out different experiences has been very helpful. I appreciate everything I have recieved from BB, as well as the friends I have made on Obesityhelp. I will be going back for a weigh in at my surgeons office maybe july 5th. So far I'm following the Low-fat protein diet, but man do I miss Bacon & Turkery sandwiches, & Ribbbbs, lol.

I haven't heard from many of you since early on, and those who I have heard from throughout, I haven't herad from ya in the last day or 2. Time to check in!!!

So I am trying to stay away from the smokes starting today, but also have to not turn to food instead. Wish me luck!

You are on your way!!!!!!!! Great job on your weightloss. You are doing awesome. Glad he signed off for you. Keep us posted on how the whole process is going as you move along! Cpap's don't help with weightloss, unless you are suddenly extremely more active, but still not a weight control fix. Best of luck in everything!

It is a big decision, and a very personal one. I know you will find peace with what is right for you. When I first began to look into wls, I was going to have the band done. I was dead set that NO ONE was going to rearrange my insides. As I studied and researched, I realized the band was pretty high maintenance, and had its share of risks, and that the RNY would probably work best for me. VSG wasn't an option for me at the time, as insurance wouldn't cover it and no one in my state even offered it.
I am soooo thankful I passed on the band and went with RNY. I am so much healthier and slimmer.
Skin will sag, unfortunately. The more stretch marks you have the more sagging, but even where there are no stretch marks there will be some sagging. The younger you are the better off you may be there. BUT I, like Kathy would rather have some sagging skin, than to be obese and feel like crap all the time. It is a very personal chjoice tho. Best of luck with everything.
