Well, crap.

Our surgeon committee decided that I can't have a VSG, after all. They'll do an RNY on me instead. This has caused me to step back a bit. I didn't really want to get into the whole bypass thing.

Well, you get what you can get, and with that, I must wish you a fond adieu, and tell you very good luck in whatever path you choose.

Now, I'll be over at the bypass forum!

Sorry things didn't work out here.  Best of luck to you.

Same thing happened to me but the other way around I thought I was getting ryn but nope i'm getting the sleeve so I had to switch to this forum. Good luck 

I wish you all the best regardless what WLS you have...onward and upward to a new healthy lifestyle and thinner you!

Good luck!

What in the world is a surgeon committee?  If you really want the sleeve go elsewhere.  It is your body not whoever this committee is.

I agree with mokee!

 

 

Why did they decide this? Do you have the option to appeal?

I wish you luck but from everything that I have read the VSG is easier, cheaper and better than RNY.  I am not a medical professional so what do I know?

Good luck on your journey!
