      A coworker had it done last year. To be honest I had my mind set on the lap band until I went to an informational seminar held by a local bariatric surgeon.

    First I googled 'different types of weight loss surgery' and read through all the types and the sleeve appealed to me.

    So I googled vertical sleeve forum because I wanted to get info from people who had it done, and poof VST was there!!

    So far it's the only website I use. I have found it very helpful! Everyone on here is great.
