My experience with VG.

I went to Dr. John Feng, who was then at LapSF, he is now at his own firm called Crystal Springs ( www.gastricbypasssanfrancisco.com )

I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend him.

Me too- am hoping for a late August or September sleeve- How much did you lose altogether? When did you have the VSG procedure? How are you feeling? Any info would be helpful. So far I can't find anyone more than 6 months out...were you able to keep the weight off? Thanks

Sorry- I see now when you got the lap band and I am excited that you have had it for more than 2 years. Please let me know how you are doing now. Thanks

What happens if the stomach enlarges? (I'm talkning about the sleeve)

[LngRedRose 0]

Yes... I had it done!! :-) I had surgery on July 2nd... I have 33 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. I am starting to get used to eating smaller amounts and I am doing well! :-)

It is the part of the stomach that will not stretch! You can out eat the sleeve... but you can out eat the band and gastric bypass as well. It is a tool.. and it is actually a great one. I, personally, cannot see how anyone could out eat the sleeve. If you overeat you will throw your guts up... or if you eat too fast or not chew your food well. (Yes, I say this from experience!!) LOL

Let me also say ... there is a HUGE forum on Obesity Help for Gastric Sleeve! :-)

[LngRedRose 0]

Asnewme1... Go to Obesity Help. There are a ton of folks that have had the sleeve for up to and over a year out. Excellent results are posted there...
