What made you choose this surgery vs others?
barney09 replied to bigjim1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My reason for going Roux en Y versus sleeve is quite easy. About 4 years ago i did the lapband surgery which unfortunately failed. The gastric sleeve just like the Band are both restrictive in nature. I had a horrible time with Head hunger etc. I am also Type 2 diabetic with other issues. The Roux en Y has been performed and observed the longest and shows greater long term success. My choice was easy -

I went to a seminar in the area and then did my initial consult with my doc. My BMI is a 41 with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. i went for my initial consult on oct 9th and started doing the pre op testing. Had My EKG and pulmonary clearance etc. I am excited, scared, motivated, anxious all wrapped up in one. I am looking forward to meeting new board members and get all the support from you guys that i can handle
