b190c550 1 Posted July 22, 2010 I am a corporate pilot who has been considering VSG for some time now but am nervous as to whether the FAA will have a fit about it or not. I have read many conflicting things on the internet and cant get a clear answer from the FAA either. I am wondering if there are any other pilots out there that have had this surgery and how their medical certification went with the feds following surgery. Anyone???

Stacy160 201 Posted July 23, 2010 I don't know why it would be an issue, but on the VSG forum at ThinnerTimes - Gastric Bypass Forum, Lap Band Forum, and Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Forum there's a pilot... can't remember his name but you'll find him eventually! :thumbup1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jane_J 117 Posted July 23, 2010 I think you should talk to a guy called Jaffa Steve. Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery (VSG) Forum - View Profile: Jaffa I think he is banded and is getting a revision. I am sure he said he was a pilot. Why not PM him.
