I originally was going to get a LapBand, but I am currently switching gears, LapBand to VSG. It just feels like a better option for me. I did loads of research and reading books, blogs and vlogs about the LapBand. Unfortunately with VSG being fairly new, the resources are just limited. I have a list of questions to ask tomorrow, but I really need help with other questions I might want to ask, HELP!?!?!
Here are a few questions I have other than the standard, credentials, blah blah blah:
1) After surgery, will I have soft and hard stop to warn me when to stop eating.
2) Can I drink with meals or will I have to wait before and after meals.
3) Do medications have difficulty dissolving? Will I have a problem with absorption?
4) Will I have PB's or sliming with a VSG?
5) How do you check your stapling for leaks?
6) How long does it usually take to get an appointment?
7) With VSG, will I have to take daily supplements like with LapBand? Will this be for the rest of my life?
8) What is the general monthly after cost for maintaining (ie. Supplements, Fiber, ect)?
Most of the questions I have are really regarding LapBand, but am I missing any other questions for VSG?
Thanks,
Best,
Steven
