Why do they want to switch? I?d fight for the RNY ... the higher weight loss long term and lack of GERD risk alone makes it a much better surgery for most. It?s not called the ?gold standard? for nothing.

At least get a second and third opinion and hopefully you can change you can change your surgeon?s plan with that .

A VSG is lower risk and far higher profit for the doctors practice.. but usually not the best choice for the patient particularly patients with higher starting weights like yourself.
