Ok so here it is: a quick bit about me I am 35 Wife and mother, 5'4" and 270 lbs that puts my BMI at 46.3 or very close to that. I like most have dieted and lost weight repeatedly only to gain it back plus some. I do not have a sweet tooth, I am an overeater, I just like feeling full. I've done some soul searching as suggested and other than the physical and contentment from feeling full there is no real other psychological reasoning behind this. I love food like most and that's about it. I also love working out believe it or not .... however I do not enjoy it at this weight ... I loved it when I was a smaller me. I have asthma and have been treated with steroids in the past and my argument to my insurance is that I would like to leave this option open if I ever need to use them in the future. With RN&Y you cannot take steroids period. Stomach cancer also runs in my family so having a shadow stomach just left floating in there might not be the greatest idea. I have done my research and that's what I am continuing to do now so please just don't tell me to research. I feel that the VSG best suits me and my needs. I don't want to worry about malnutrition and deficiencies as much as you do with the RN&Y. I don't really want to mess with the openings to and from my stomach nor have my intestines all pulled out of whack. I would like to hear from you, your feelings and experiences on the VSG or RN&Y. I know that my center is going to push the RN&Y and I will have to stand up for what I really want. I know or I've read that you don't loose the weight at quickly with a VSG as per the RN&Y but I am patient as long as it comes off no difference if it's a year or a year and a half. I love healthy food so I really think this could work for me.
Please Respond, I am a girl of quantity and do need much reassurance and input.
Thanks a bunch,
Micki
