I imagine you are addressing me since Dr. Hollywood had VGS. I will be 6 yrs, post op RNY the 22nd of this month. I personally have had NO problems with my WLS other than vomiting alot when I started eating food in the beginning. But now they do things differently. I came home from the hospitall eating pureed foods. Now most usually wait a couple of weeks ( do liquids ) to let their new stomachs heal before putting foods in. That being said....I do know lots who have re-gained their weight after RNY. BUT trust me....re-gains are usually and note I did say usually due from bad choices on the part of the person who had WLS but NOT always. I think their could be complications wirh any of the surgeries. When I had mine....at the time RNY and Lap Band were MY choices. The sleeve was brand new and in the expermental stages and my insurance would only cover RNY and lapband. I chose the best surgery for me at the time. You just have to check out the surgeries ( which I'm sure you have done ) and chose which one is best suited for yourself, I know I made a wise choice. I have lost 140 lbs. and kept off 120 of it. That's not too bad to have a 20 lb. regain after 5 yrs. That regain was MY fault. I had 5 people who I was very close to drop dead in a 12 month time and I got so upset I turned to snacking and gained some weight. I am still trying to get it off. Good luck to you on tuesday and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Follow your heart as far as what surgery to have. You have to choose as best you can. Good luck,.

Also, Please know some regret may happen after surgery, this is normal and you will work through it if this happens to you. Because I read about it, and focused on this, I never regretted, knock on wood..
With your surgery you may or may not have dumping but the RNYmostly its popular for dumping.
look at it as a positive which will enable you to stay away from certain foods , i dont know. I dont dump at all with my sleeve.
Stick with your doctors food plan and you will see results. This surgery will change your life.
but remember and a reminder of something you already know, this is a tool and doesnt fix our head.
You can do it and will be a success! I just know it. Use OH and stick with the winners. Stay away from negative peeps, places and things in your life.
This is your time to start falling in love with you..... and it just may be for the first time.
Bring your spirituality in your healing, it will help with the head.
I pray for you to have a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery. Your life will change. Please becareful later on especially when you lose weight that you dont return to eating habits. As you have read, its a life style change. We all dabble here and there and it doesnt become fearful.
We all can eat around our surgery, which is what we do not want to do early out.
Maintenace is a different story.
Blessings,
Mary
Edit: I see you may have been talking to vivian, however I am just going to leave my post.
