I have a question about VBG vs. RNY. I have read through the library...

and have gotten everyones opinion on the weight loss issue, success rate, etc. THIS IS MY CONCERN -- while my surgeon and I both feel that I could lose weight w/the ABG, we both agree that I am not the ideal candidate for that surgery. It looks as if RNY is my best bet for success. HOWEVER, I have been doing extensive research, and I am very concerned about the LONG TERM effects of this surgery. A lot of what I am reading links GB to organ failure and even autoimmune conditions such as MS and Parkinson's. I am considering WLS to improve and prolong my life. Any thoughts?
