Re: DS vs. RNY - Ducey

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I weighed 230 lbs. (my highest weight pre-surgery was about 238-240

lbs.) with a BMI of 40 when I had Lap BPD/DS over 7 months ago. I

knew myself and I couldn't of dealt with the lifestyle after an RNY.

With a VBG, Lap Band or Proximal RNY I probably would have gained all

my weight back plus some and needed a revision eventually. I felt

that the DS was the surgery that was least likely to fail me. I

didn't look at my weight as 230 lbs. I was steadily gaining weight

and I am sure that I would have probably hit 300 lbs. one day.
