As I mentioned in one of my previous post the Surgeon has left me a choice to have the RNY or the VSG. My wife is having the RNY preformed so it was suggested I might want to have the same surgery as my wife. At this point I’m planning on having the RNY. The surgeon seems to Favor they RYN and has 20 + years preforming WLS.
There is a continual debate around the pros and cons of both surgeries. I have read dozens of articles and know the Sleeves is the more common surgery but not always the best depending on who you ask. It is clear for some people which surgery is most suited for them.
Previous responses on this forum indicated RNY would most likely prevent me from taking nsaid ever again and the sleeve might allow me to continue for pain. I have learned there are other options for pain and my weight loss will help alleviate some of the pain. Thank-you for those who weighed in on my previous post. Insurance will pay for either so $ is not an issue in my decision which for many it is as the sleeve is cheaper for self pay and some insurances don’t allow options.
Any thoughts on this topic would be welcomed. Pro and Cons that I may not be aware of. The more I research WLS the more I find my ignorance is profound.
