VSG vs Lapband - that's me and Hiya!

[col 0]

Hi there, I am a new membber and have found lots of posts on here very interesting so decided tojoin.

Am currently in the beginning stage where i have realised taht ia m sick of being overweight and then yo youing all my life. SUre diets work but only for a hwile then all that fat comes back .

So am currnelty deciding whether to go the Lapband or the VSG. Am leaning more towards the Laproscopic Sleever Gastorectomy (sp?) due tothe lower maintanence of it and the fact that lots of people have discussed the PB, sliming and the onoging fills. THere seems tobe more complications with the LB than VSG. Admit VSG is a little more intrusive but long terms appears to be less maintanence.

Are tthere many people on here who have had the VSG done and what are people's thoughts :confused:

Look forward to hearing from you.

BTW am in New Zealand.. not sure if other kiwi on here or not.:cry

Welcome col. I think if you hang out in the General Lap Band discussion area there might be some information about other types of gastric surgery.

You also might want to take a look in some of the regional threads to find posters from your area.

All the best with your decision and journey.
