Hi Bobbie and welcome to this web site. I love my sleeve and had it
done Sept 18th and amd doing great... having lost 53lbs in a little
over 3 mos.
You will find that most people that have had the VSG mostly post
at Obesityhelp.com under the forum vertical sleeve gastrectomy. There
is also a wonderful FAQ site that on of our members put together for
us newbies and researchers. Here's that web site.Click here:
Unofficial VSG FAQ hmmm... that didn't transfer right. Try
www.beadbaker.com/vsg. That should get you there. If it doesn't go to
the www.obesityhelp.com site and post a question as to how to get to
the FAQ site.
If you send me your personal email, I'll send you my phone number.
I don't like to post my phone number on the Internet.
Best of luck to you on your research and I can tell you that IMO
the vertical sleeve is the best option in weight loss surgery. I love
my new banana.
Blessings,
Jane
