Hi, all!

I have my final appointment with my surgeon and his P.A. next week. At this point, I have jumped through all the hoops and such and am looking forward to setting a date.

In all my research I have had a hard time getting solid stats on the VSG. What I am looking for is:

* success rates for two-year, five-year and ten-years out

As long as I am at it, complication rates for the same periods of time.

I realize that VSG came about as a pre-surgery procedure for a more serious surgery (duodenal switch, right?). Can't quite get a date (i.e., the year) for when they consciously did the VSG without the intention of doing the 2nd part of the surgery. Could someone help with any of those?

Thanks for your help!
