Vertical Band Versus RNY

From all the research I have done so far, it seems to me that the RNY is more benefical than the VB. I've read that the VB surgery can develop staple line seperation, and or the band can weaken over time, causing a person to overeat, and start gaining. I am in favor of the RNY, because it's seems to be the decision for me. Having a major surgery is risky in itself, but I don't want to have to be opened up again to correct a problem. Please, I would like to hear from both VB and RNY paitients, and your success, probs., with each surgery. Please e-mail me if you want. [email protected]
