I have spoken extensively with my doctor about GERD. He will be repairing my hiatal hernia at the time of surgery. Yes, stats show that 47% of people that have sleeve have new or worse GERD following surgery. Does that mean 53% do not? I have read the GERD may be temporary and can be managed.
I understand what you are saying about the different surgeries but it isn't that one surgery gives you a better chance than another. The percentages reflect people that have had a particular surgery that have reversed their diabetes. Someone who has a BMI of 50 and uncontrolled diabetes is very different from someone that has a 35 BMI and well controlled diabetes. How well a person does with any given surgery depends on where they started and how well they follow all the rules post-op and for life.
Oh my god, congratulations! NSV moments are the absolute best!
I'm currently size 4, and I feel amazing. I've kept this size for about three months now, after sharp ups and downs, so I also bought a pair of jeans I liked. It was mom jeans type, and they fit me perfectly - hug me in all the right places while leaving enough leg room to move around freely. With some useful tips on how to style mom jeans I found online, I was able to create a decent capsule wardrobe and bought two more pairs of these jeans in the same size.

It's called self love. You have one life to live. If you don't take of yourself, no one else.
People give you nonsense about it says more about their insecurities than anything else.
Agreed, if I had the VSG I would have gained back all the weight back by now. The malabsorption was vital for me to keep the weight off.
Do a lot of research and then insist on at least an RNY instead of a sleeve. Weight loss and maintenance will be quicker and easier, and you will have better odds of putting diabetes into remission. A person with reflux should never have a sleeve. The tight system caused by the sleeve causes reflux and GERD in people who never had it before and makes it worse in someone who already has reflux. The only cure for that is to reverse to RNY.
