VBG 20+ yrs ago to DS



Recommended Posts

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

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
