VSG on 04/24/14

Hi, I'm new to this and have lots of questions regarding whether it would be better to have the VSG or the RXY.  I am at 47% BMI and need to lose about 150 pounds.  I'm scared that by choosing the VSG, I won't be successful.  But I'm also afraid of the long term malabsorption effects of the RXY.  I'd appreciate any advice.  I can't find long term data on the successs of the VSG and have never met anyone who had had it.  Most of my friends or co-workers have had the RXY.  If anyone can help, provide advice or resources, I'd be grateful! :)
