I assumed I would be having the RNY because of it's success rate with Diabetes resolution; however, when I had my visit with the surgeon he recommended the VSG. He says my insurance covers it and he feels I'm a good candidate because I've only had diabetes for a short time (pre-diabetes four years & type II for about six months) and because of my lower BMI (37).
As I research, I see that the VSG looks like a viable option but I'm concerned about the resolution of diabetes. The RNY has such a track record. Losing weight is great but I really want to get rid of my disease. Any of you here with the VSG have their diabetes not resolve?
Any input or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
