Oh wow, so sorry about your delema. I am scheduled for RNY. From all the research I have done about the RNY it is a more drastic but more successful surgery. Not sure if this helps but I hope you can decide soon. Good luck and God bless.

God bless you as you embark on this new path for health and happiness. Our prayers are with you for a successful surgery and a full recovery!

Hi Silvia- my surgeon doesn't do leak tests either. He is vfery very experienced at open RNY, and since you're having it open, I guess yours feels the same. No leaks in 500 cases would certainly indicate that he knows what he's doing.My stomach was transected and then staples and glue were used to prevent leaks. I had no problems. best wishes-
