RNY Benefits include: Faster weight loss more permanent weight loss RNY Detriments include: surgery is more invasive dumping because intake of sugar or carbs easy to become mal-nourished - neccesitates vitamin supplements not reccomended if pregnancy desired VBG Benefits are: eat any food overall weight loss is about the same as RNY just takes longer less invasive no dumping no mal-nourishment pregnancy can occur (with nutritional supplements) VBG Detriments are: weigth loss not as permenent nausea if eat too much food must be chewed more thouroughly Can anyone add to the list or clear up any discrepancies I have
