  1. A MGB is a MINI Gastric Bypass you can google it and find out all about it...It is reversible. Not usre what size of Bougie Dr Alvarez used but he told me it was one of the larger sizes.

    re sleeve

    I was sleeved by Dr Alvarez in 2008 and had a Mini gastric Bypass from Dr Rutledge in Las Vegas last year. I have had terrible problems with gas , etc since my stomach is too big. Does anyone recommend a Dr for re sleeve? Dr R has not done any.
  3. I had a VSG by Dr Alvarez in 2008, he used a large bougie... didnt lose the weight I needed...went in to see Dr Rutledge in Vegas last year and thought he would revise my VSG to make smaller and it was planned to do a small MGB. Unfortunately, he did the MGB and did not touch my stomach. As such I can eat tons of food and have terrible gas and diareahea all the time. I am going in for my last and final surgery in 1 month to reverse the MGB and have him revise and make smaller my stomach. I'm scared as this is my third surgery...and last I might add. Can anyone comment about VSG revisions? Blessings to you!
