VBG 20+ yrs ago to DS

I have had Vertical Banding done 20+ yrs. ago and dealt with issues for a long time, and just found something can be done.

I am considering having DS done as a revision, but wondered if anyone else has done so with VBG from so long ago.

hi bud

welcome to the board :rolleyes:

WLS 20 years ago!!!!

wow, that's a long time - so you are an oldie but a goodie :lol:

glad you are looking into getting your life back with new and improved WLS

i had never heard of VBG

sorry you had problems with it

did you ever loose weight with it??

have you regained??

many people have a revision from lapband to sleeve due to slippage, erosion etc

there is a separate board talking about revisions

i was sleeved 4 years ago

went from 235 lbs to 130 lbs in almost a year

past 3 years maintaining (little fluctuation, but still...........)

i'm being biased - but i love my sleeve and i think it's the latest and greatest!!!

why don't you read up on it, google, utube?? check it out

couldn't hurt

good luck with any revision, like i said many people do this

good luck

kathy
