The staples are permanent and they are titanium... they are also very tiny and will not set off the metal detector. If they did, none of these folks going to and from Mexico for their surgeries would be able to get through..

My greatest obesity "side effect" was very bad asthma. I am now nearing 5 months post-op and I have not used any asthma meds (with the exception of seasonal allergy avoidance) since my surgery in May.
This is amazing to me, as I was taking Ventolin, Symbicort, and Qvar puffers, as well as an oral med (Accolate). That is a LOT of asthma meds........and now I don't even need ONE!
The VSG has been the best decision of my life, and I still have another 100 lbs to lose! I can only imagine how great it will be when I'm at goal weight!

I love, love love the Mio peach tea!

I did it with 60 pounds to lose. Although i'm a slow loser, I am losing. I'd do it again in a minute.
