I picked the sleeve because I was BMI 40 (low end of insurance approval weight) and I do not have any other health problems. People with GERD or diabetes often do better with RNY. People who are super morbidly obese sometimes choose the DS because they lose more, very quickly at the beginning.

Oh, I just had my surgery on Halloween and I am doing great!

Your surgeon can go over the options with you to decide what's best for you.

Hi, I'm 3 years out from my RNY. I was insulin resistant and on insulin and pills for my diabetes. I took 12 different medications, now I take 4 plus my Vitamins. No more diabetes meds at all. I also take 1/2 of my blood pressure meds, I had hoped to get off of them too but I just don't know how to not stress!! I stress over everything even stupid stuff. So still need them. I went below my goal weight in 6 months. Here are my Stats: HW 249 (this time I was 285#'s and managed to lose 32#'s and keep them off) SW 232 LW 117 CW 125#'s. I have gained 8#'s but the difference that they made is nAMAZING!!! My health is great. I exercise 4 to 5 days a week I walk 4 to 5 miles each time. I have FIBROMYALGIA OSTEOARTHRITIS and the beginning of RHEMTOID ARTHRITIS. But I can say since my RNY it has helped with the pain so much. Good Luck on whatever Surgery you decide to do. I look forward to seeing your journey.

I have fibro as well and I chose sleeve. I had surgery on the 2nd and I have had a week with only mild aches and pains. Life is so much more manageable right now. Fingers crossed that this continues! Good luck and keep us updated on your journey!

i'm opting for the RNY, out of the surgeries available, that is the one that offers the most advantages to my co-morbidities. Also, I have a huge issue with Portion Control, I feel the RNY will definitely help me a lot. As I spoke to my surgeon, I explained to him which surgery I preferred and why, he agreed with me as well.
