hi all my dear friends,

I am very interested in finding paper about the long term results of VSG and comparing it with the RNY procedure. do people regain weight back? if yes, is it a small regain or can they return back to their presurgery weight? if anyone has an article to share, I will be grateful. best of luck to all you lovely ladies.

Links for researching the VSG

on March 15, 2009 11:18 pm

Here are some links I've collected when I was researching the sleeve. ASMBS position paper on sleeve - includes reports of early studies

LapSF Educational presentation to FACS - includes some 2 year results

LapSF Two Year Study

LapSF Five Year Study - abstract only

LapSF Five Year Study - presentation (requires Windows to play)

Literature review on the sleeve - requires $$ to get the full text unfortunately

Sleeve best for over 50 crowd

Video of a sleeve with lots of education discussion

Video of a sleeve that is more about the operation

Ghrelin levels after RnY and sleeve

Ghrelin levels after band and sleeve

Diabetes resolution in RnY vs. Sleeve

Comparison of band to sleeve - literature review

Here are several links of individual results, and some research articles.

Within some of the articles you have to pay for the articles, but it's a nominal fee if you want solid research evidence.

The results vs RNY are pretty neck and neck 5 years out with the exception of regain, and 2nd surgeries (revisions due to regain, and most of the see to shorten the common channel/intestines/Stomaphyx/Rose procedure) sought by VSG patients, and nutritional/vitamin deficiencies and complications are much lower in VSG patients that are further out than some RNY patients. There are far more long term complications associated with the RNY procedure, and higher chance and proof of regain with RNY than the sleeve.

Best wishes in your research.
