RNY or VSG?

[kassyysilvaa 0]

Hello!

I am currently loosing the weight requested from my doctor in order to be approved for surgery. My doctor was very open to doing either RNY or VSG. I am almost at the goal weight but now I don’t know which one to do. I don’t have any medical condition other than PCOS. I plan to have children later in life and don’t know which surgery would be best (If it makes a difference). I would love to hear from you all!!

I don't think it will make a major difference. If you suffer from severe acid reflux (GERD), I would recommend that you have RNY gastric bypass because the sleeve will only make that condition worse. Both surgeries should enhance your fertility. So selection of the type of surgery may be a matter of personal choice. One other thing to check is to make sure the type of surgery that you select is covered by your health insurance.
