Standard clamp with VSG

[DejaVSG 21]

Hi everyone,

So I had a successful surgery, and now I'm just chilling until its time to go home and start step 2. Today I was the first patient at children's to get the new clamp for surgery is called the Standard clamp for vsg. Have any of you had this? Also thank you all for the well wishes! ????????????

I'm so glad your surgery went well. Now let the fun begin. I'm one week out and feel great. When you get home rest and be patient with yourself. You'll do great!

What is the clamp? What does it do? Every program and surgeon is so different, it may be something that others use and it may not be.

Have never heard of a clamp. Glad you are doing well.

I don't know what kind of clamp would be used for VSG, either. Typically the sleeve is made with a tool that cuts, cauterizes and staples both sides all in one step. Just curious what it is if you get anymore info from your surgeon.

Its a clamp that my doctor helped create that allows them to be more precise with the measurement of how much stomach they take

Or ok. , my surgeon is pretty hi tech so he's using the latest equipment. I'm sure they all have their own technique and equipment. We will all have the same size sleeve. Keep us posted on your journey.
