I would not do it without insurance... If you have any complications (leak) you want the best care you can get

Low BMI VSG topics?
Hello, I have a BMI of 29, and I had the sleeve on Monday 12/20, my doctor did make my stomach bigger the others, he made it the size of a banana and a half, they can use different size bugiee ( i am sure I spilled that wrong) but they place this down your throat and than cut next to it, the bigger one they use the bigger your stomach will be... there are 3 different sizes I really feel great.... No pain, have not thrown up at all and have no issues drinking. I think this is due to the low BMI.... I was only approved because I had a lapband which failed

Stupid question, should my stomach be really swollen ?

3 days post op and I feel GREAT... is something wrong?
I am 3 days out and I have no pain, I am drinking with no issues, have not thrown up, I was expecting something different. Since my BMI was only 30 I had the doctor make the stomach a little bigger, the size of an banana and a half I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Now I understand why we dont tell people we are getting the sleeve...
Everyone is a doctor and they have no clue to feel like us....

Vomiting...

Low BMIers (30-35) insurance question.
I have a low BMI (27) and was approved by insurance, But I had the lap-band which failed, so i had what they call revision sugary. I can tell you I did have trouble finding a doctor to do the sleeve with a low BMI..... It was not as easy as I thought it would be
