I believe we're still waiting for insurance confirmation, etc. I am doing research on the differences between RNY and sleeve, and trying to identify the pros and cons to both. I'd be very happy to get to the point where I could take fewer medications and no longer need to use a CPAP. I was once a very active, healthy, and able to go and go. While I do understand age slows people down, I so look forward to more energy. My only concern is feeling ill from eating too little. I am a rule follower, so hoping that'll help maintain my overall wellbeing and increase my energy instead of reducing it further.

RNY is more successful than the sleeve With the sleeve
It tends to stretch over time if you do t change eating habits. I had the RNY in 2016. Still kept the weight off
Effortlessly. Some of my friends with the sleeve are now on weight loss injectables as their weight creeped back

The important part to keep energy is not amount of food eat but what eat. There is emphasis on protein in pre and post surgery diet.

The following article contains tips and suggestions for eating protein after a bariatric procedure or surgery:
