Sugar addict and Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) surgery?
rustypickerd replied to Quest4TheNewMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have reactive hypoglycemia presurgery. My surgery is in 3 days. 2 sisters have had the bypass. They both can have a few bites of the sweets but anything more and they dump. I am having the bypass. I was set on the sleeve, but after talking to a lot of people including the surgeon, and research, I decided bypass was best for me -

I'm sensitive to any of the stuff that has artificial sweeteners. Get severe headaches suck to stomach. I have been able to tolerate products with stevia but they are harder to find -

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG) vs Gastric Bypass (GB)
rustypickerd replied to docbree's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I too had planned on the sleeve. I also have a huge hiatal hernia. My surgeon called me on my cell phone the other day. Explained the pros and cons of both. He really didn't want to do the sleeve, but said he would go by my wishes. After he called, I talked with my husband. I've decide to go with the bypass...I'm scheduled for the 24th. My ultimate goal is better health..my concern was also with dumping, but after thinking about gerd and if by chance my got that much worse, I didn't want to have to go thru another surgery
