So does VSG! lots of information about this in professional medical journals, if your MD tells you differently it's only because he earns more from Bypass or isn't up to date. Don't think when your doctor goes home he's reading medical books, they aren't they are sending time with family just like you do.

The surgeon does NOT!!! make the decision you do it's your body not his. It's funny to read how easily patients are willing to give up their rights as human being just because a person wears a lab coat. Listen folks!! this is your battle not theirs once the surgery is done your living with yourself. Medicine is a business!!! these doctors are just tools learn to use them the correct way, I'm not saying to be disrespectful to them. But would you buy a car and let the salesman pick out the color? NO! you'd go down the street and find what you wanted. Go see 2-3 doctors for consult don't just do surgery with the fist doctor you met. I saw five doctors, why you may ask simple I'm married to a doctor and I know better then to just let anyone do surgery on me. Even after meeting five surgeons it's still a crap shoot, but I know I increase your odds of finding the right one.
BTW, I met with one group that did this surgery as an outpatient. My wife laughed when I told her, she called it Drive thru Bariatric Surgery. which btw, is very dangerous.
