New&Improved 1,780 Posted May 21, 2019 @jennigurl23 it depends on a few things, your BMI how much weight you need to lose? But most will tell you the RNY is more effective, more restrictive, it changes your metabolism and your internal gastric system... Most studies will show RNY better overall loss and better management of type 2diabetes... But you will need to be on more Vitamins than sleeve.. but it also helps with reflux or gerd...

Carrot64 214 Posted May 21, 2019 Surgery was February 4th, 2019 and I’ve lost 62 lbs in all. I had to do the liver shrinking diet and lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks prior... starting weight before liver shrinking diet was 240 at 5 , 4” had RNY because of hernia and awful acid reflux.. been to counseling and following plan like a trooper , just worried that I am able to fill up that little pouch.. doesn’t mean I will, I just feel no discomfort and was expecting more..nice to feel so good though, and I am determined to make this work.. reminding myself the surgery was a TOOL.. a tool I must use... no miracle , well, maybe I can make my own miracle... NO!!! I WILL make my own miracle... this is an excellent place for support . 1 2 Mdnytangel, allies journey and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am almost 64 and need RNY REVISION SURGERY after my sleeve surgery 2.5 years ago. HW 318SW 287CW 225I have gone down to 199.8 and then started gaining weight again. I never had a problem eating even a whole sandwich. I drink constantly and now crave things I never ate before. Chips, icecream and just junk.Grrrr, salt intake is way too high seems like I can't get enough. My reflux has become so much worse than it was before I started. It's crazy. Now waiting approval for the RNY revision surgery from my 2 insurance companies. I am absolutely miserable and can't wait for the approval and surgery date.I'm concerned about the surgery but I know I have to have it.
