My NUT is pushing for RNY?!?!
1st Goal - Loss of 50lbs
I think it's inappropriate for your NUT to be telling you what surgery you should have. Her area of expertise is supposed to be nutrition. She should be telling you what vitamins you'll need and stuff, and perhaps letting you know that nutritional deficiencies are much more common with RNY, but she should not be pushing one surgery over another.
My advice? Talk to your surgeon about which surgery would be best for you, and find a new NUT.

Talking about nutrition/vitamins deficiencies. I know you had problem with B12 before. How are you doing with that? I have been on B12 injections for almost a year now. First I would get it once a month, then due to lack on energy I decided to do it once every 15 days... then (last 2 months), again due to lack of energy I started doing it every week.
I Just had blood work done. My B12, with weekly shots was ... 813... Funny. My doc thinks that I metabolize the B12 very fast, that's why it is dropping so much.
He advised me to do what I am doing (once a week shots). Just so you know...

Glad yours is good now.
