How much is age a factor?

Oh goodness! I have NO intentions of having a back up! Once I get a WLS surgery..thats it for me! It's up to me to use that tool to my benefit. As I was posting below, I prefer the sleeve for its similarity to our natural mechanics. But I do thank you for your post. I love hearing every side of a choice. 

Amanda, there is very little difference if any in weightloss with RNY and VSG's these days, so don't let that be a consideration for you, especially since, the malabsorption with the RNY is temporary (except the need for vitamins).  DS on the other hand is permanent malabsorption.

I am 29, just had mine a few weeks ago and am self employed. Sometimes I work crazy hours but you can squeeze in the food and nutrition you need. I think we are lucky that we can do it so young without having to live with the headache and heartache of being obese in our 20's and 30's.

Good luck.

Hello!!! I was 24 when I had my VSG- 12/5. I turned 25 that 12/24. My friend had RNY at like age 19/20. I think 20. I am doing superb. Friend me if you want to chat- I am here to help =)
