  1. VGS problems

    formerlapbander posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hello, I had the Lap Band procedure in 2006. After 3 years of vomiting EVERYDAY at every meal I decided to have it removed. I would sometimes go a week without being able to eat or drink and would end up at the hospital due to dehydration. The Lap Band was the worst decision I ever made. So here I am thinking of the gastric sleeve procedure. I am afraid that I will have the same complications as I did before. My wife is very concerned because with the Lap Band she was always nervous that something horrible would result due to me always throwing up. If we went out to eat, it was embarrasing because I would have to go to the bathroom to vomit 2-3 times. Can anyone tell me what to expect and if they have had the VGS after Lap Band failure. Respectfully, Robert
