Hello
I had the VSG just over a year ago. No complications at all. I considered the band, but after an insurance fiasco, I did more research and found that the VSG was a much better option for me. I love my sleeve
It's purely restrictive, but that was what I needed. I couldn't be happier! I feel absolutely fantastic & I'm down nearly 80#. With me, it's been a slower, steady ride, and I'm to the point of being able to eat anything I want in MUCH MUCH smaller portions. Absolutely go to the obesityhelp.com site and read all about it. That site is amazing
