Revisions to VSG?

wjbluv · March 30, 2008

Can anyone who has had experiance with VSG tell me about how they are doing and if they feel this is the best choice after the band?

I am looking into it but I'd really love to hear direct comments from those with experiance.

Hi:

I've been hanging out on the ObesityHelp VSG forum for over two years now. There are tons of Lap-Band to VSG revisions there... I know of at least 30. The only one I know who is not happy was a Lap-Band to VSG revision at goal... and so her surgeon made her sleeve larger than normal, and she regained. People who have a standard sleeve (32-34 French) seem to be quite happy. They also do not have the food intolerances that many lap-banders with good restriction face.

Just ask on the VSG forum.. and people will chime in. (Or search!)

Good luck,
