Dr Hagen...how is he about you wanting vsg instead of rny
A few will chime in, but I would suggest if Dr Hagen won't, ask him if Dr Klein would consider it - I originally thought I would have to have a VSG because of different medical problems including weather and BP migraines, but Dr Klein thought I would be OK and he was so right and I'm glad I had the RNY. For pain meds I've switched from time-released 12 to normal every 4 hours and I'm good with it.
Good Luck
