I had vbg in 1995 had good success from 280lbs to 140.  but down the road gained back  100lbs.  All the old pains and disabilities started again.  I started trying to find my options but no one would touch me due to the unknow and I am assuming they thought what if something goes wrong.  Then I finally afters years of frustration and many doctor appointments finally someone who was willing to not only listen but cared.  Dr Metz and Dr Brown in Denver what life savers.  I am currently 5 weeks post lap band.   Probably the first to ever have a lap band after a VBG.  I know this was only possible due to the skilled hands of my surgeon Dr Metz and His wonderful partner Dr Brown.  Thank you both so muchI had vbg in 1995 had good success from 280lbs to 140.  but down the road gained back  100lbs.  All the old pains and disabilities started again.  I started tryI had vbg in 1995 had good success from 280lbs to 140.  but down the road gained back  100lbs.  All the old pains and disabilities started again.  I started trying to find my options but no one would touch me due to the unknow and I am assuming they thought what if something goes wrong.  Then I finally afters years of frustration and many doctor appointments finally someone who was willing to not only listen but cared.  Dr Metz and Dr Brown in Denver what life savers.  I am currently 5 weeks post lap band.   Probably the first to ever have a lap band after a VBG.  I know this was only possible due to the skilled hands of my surgeon Dr Metz and His wonderful partner Dr Brown.  Thank you both so muching to find my options but no one would touch me due to the unknow and I am assuming they thought what if something goes wrong.  Then I finally afters years of frustration and many doctor appointments finally someone who was willing to not only listen but cared.  Dr Metz and Dr Brown in Denver what life savers.  I am currently 5 weeks post lap band.   Probably the first to ever have a lap band after a VBG.  I know this was only possible due to the skilled hands of my surgeon Dr Metz and His wonderful partner Dr Brown.  Thank you both so much
