VBG OR RNY?
hey everyone,
i thought i knew i wanted the vbg, then i was reading about how
people fail miserably with this surgery. and that alot of times you
can’t eat qauality food but you could sweets, sugar, sodas, etc. i
wanted the vbg because i am what they consider a “lightweight”. i
weigh almost 240. i am confused now becasue i did not want the RNY
becasue of the long term complications with malnutrition and the
dumping and i didn’t want to knock out sugar completely from my
life. i thought i would have the vbg because after getting to my
goal weight i would like to have a treat here and there in moderation
and be able to eat a little more normally.
then i read that people with the rny do eat sweets sometimes and are
ok. i am soooo confused now on which procedure to have. any advice
for me….or is there anyone out there who had the vbg with some long-
term sussess and care to share your story with me? thanks guys
