Confused

Hi Hon,
    I havent had my surgery yet, I have spent a yr researching this.  I couldnt decide between the RNY or the Sleeve.  I did finally decide on the sleeve for all the reasons everyone has posted for you thus far.  The RNY to me is just to drastic a change to my body.  I liked the idea of my stomach working normally but with much less food, thats my whole problem, dang portion controll.  Good luck to you hon what ever you decide.

I just want to clarify something, a few peoplen on this thread said they chose VSG because they didn't want the dumping that went with RNY...sadly there are people with VSG who DO dump on sugar or fatty foods...and of course I'm one of them!  Anything high in fat will make me dump and anything like dessert that combines sugar and fat will put me into a dumping coma! Don't put me within 10 feet of peanut butter!!!!

I have many friends who have RNY who have never once dumped and I have quite a few friends who have VSG who do dump.

Please don't let that deter you.  I think that if you are going for a restrictive only procedure, the VSG is absolutely the best choice!  But if you go into it thinking you won't dump, you may be very unpleasantely surprised!

Good luck with whatever you choose!
