VSG vs Roux n Y
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! :)
