Joe I 180 Posted February 19, 2013 My name is Joe and I'm scheduled for surgery here in Michigan at Henry Ford on March 4. Up till now I have gone back and forth weather to have the RNY or the Sleeve. At my last appointment I told my surgeon I wanted the RNY. I never really felt comfortable with that, I had been lurking here and at RNY Talk, well yesterday I changed my mind and decided to go with the Sleeve. My Dr. never really pushed me one way or the other except to say that you can expect to loose more weight with the RNY. With all the extra trauma to your body and the extra after care, ect... I just feel more comfortable with the Sleeve, I hope I'm making the right decision I figure this is my chance and I don't want to blow it HW. 313 CW. 283 GW. 180 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susie in Lima 320 Posted February 19, 2013 Well I did the same thing but I can tell you that the sleeve was the right decision for me. Hope things go well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
