I have a consultation Appt.
Hello everyone,
I am Islandgurl29, 30, married and a mother of two. I am young at heart and am struggling with my weight. I just recently got a phone call from Dr.Davey's office for a consultation for gastroplasty. I have been on the waiting list for exactly one year. My appointment is not until May 3rd. I am scared to death. I want this so bad, but I am still frightened. Has anyone had this surgery? I really need to hear some positive things now. Thanks for listening. Islandgurl29 |

Hey, I found this, is this what you are having?
Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) The Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) and Lap VBG limits food intake by creating a small pouch in the upper stomach with a narrow outlet reinforced by a mesh band to prevent stretching. The pouch fills quickly and empties slowly with solid food, producing a feeling of fullness. Overeating results in pain or vomiting. This restricts food intake. This is the simpler of the two operations, with a generally lower risk of complication's and shorter hospital stay. Top |
