2 & 3 yr out Sleeve Experiences + Research links on VSG

[Tiffykins 673]

Since so many people need this information, I thought I would make a thread of all the link from Mac's OH profile. These are my go-to links when I need information. These are all individual experiences from OH, and are chalked full of information.

As for the research links, if you get super-geeky (like me), you can find some other articles and links to review for your own research .

I will post this in my blog as well so it's always accessible on the forum.

LapSF Educational presentation to FACS - includes some 2 year results

LapSF Two Year Study

LapSF Five Year Study - abstract only

LapSF Five Year Study - presentation (requires Windows to play)

Thanks for posting all this information. My biggest question is what will life be like 2-3 years out! It's helpful to read how other's are doing and what it takes for maintenance. I'm getting closer to making it happen!
