jrg1979 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Does anyone know what the difference is in a VGB (vertical gastric band) and the lapband? Obviously, the vertical band must go....vertically?, but is it basically the same concept? Does anyone know? Is the VGB adjustable? I saw an episode of "I lost it" last night on discovery health and the lady lost mega wieght with a VGB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coolcrystal 1 Posted May 16, 2008 Yeah, is that like the sleeve?? I think that and the sleeve are the same thing. I had looked into getting the sleeve, but my insurance didn't cover it because its too new of a procedure. But, it looked pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
