Ugh, Choices Choices

I 2 suffered from cancer not once but twice 1st wls surgery was a lap-band which herniated two years latet replaced lapband failed. Im going in on Tuesday for rny I too glow in the dark was considering the sleeve but my new dr. said my body doesnt like foreign objects band so sleeve wouldnt be a good option for me and if there was peoblems more modified bariym swallows! Hence more glowing so after much soul searching agreed with rnyy hubnby isnt real thrilled about it but its not there decision they just need to be there to support. I agree talk to your oncologist but at the end of the day its yout decision Listen to your heart!

Wow, thank you all for the great replies!  You definitely gave me a lot to think about, and let me answer a few of the points made.

On my oncologist, she's more of a purist and would prefer I lost the weight on my own, but I plan to bring it up to her when I see her at the end of the month for my 6 month checkup.

My onc does offer the sleeve;  He recommended the RnY because of the potential cure to my heartburn.  He only does the band rarely at this point due to the failures.

Think I might look at the sleeve and ask him about it (I have an appt this afternoon with him).  Again, thank you all for the insights and experience, its appreciated!

My DS cured my heartburn. It's been 9 years now since I had heartburn.

I just want to point out what you may not know - when people are saying DS, they mean the Duodenal Switch, not related to the sleeve.  If your doctor hasn't suggested this, you might want to do some research so that you have all the information that you need to make an informed choice.

Good luck!
