Kinda bummed

I had my appointment with the surgeon and I asked about which surgery I would be getting. ( I have weird intestines) he tells me they will decide once they get in there. I just feel very uneasy about not knowing what will be happening to me...grrrr

I.was.told the same by my doc...due to genetic intestional cancer running rampid in my fam...but.when i.got.my.date.the nurse who.called told me i.was getting an rny...apparently 90% of surgeries in ontario r rny.....good luck!!

I had the same info going into surgery ( due to many other abdominal surgeries I've had and concerns re" scar tissue ). The first question I asked when I woke up was " rnv or sleeve? ". They were able to do RNY

They were unsure about me too due to a hernia by my bellybutton.  I think they do RNY if they can and the sleeve if not.  I had RNY as the hernia was not as bad as expected.  I just prepared myself for both - not much different in what you do afterwards.  I looked at it as either way I was going to be able to lose weight which is the ultimate goal.

Very common. You will have to sign that you will have either or. I had to as well, because I had an open appendectomy 20 years ago, and they can't tell what your scar tissue will be like until they get in there. I woke up with RNY. I also had to recently sign that I might have an open gall bladder surgery...because I had RNY....but I woke up with it done lap. It's just a legal thing, but they are doing what is best for your body. Research both surgeries and prepare yourself that way.

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling a smidgin better about it.
