VSG on 02/06/12

W5 had an excellent show on Saturday about a program in Toronto that is treating select obese teens with VSG surgery.

I found it interesting that it took this surgeon 3 1/2 hours to perform one VSG operation. Mine was completed by a bariatric surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico in less than an hour.
