Hello!

I did well with a band for 12 years , maintaining a 100# loss., until it caused a very dilated esophagus and was removed.

I regained 30 # in a year, so I'm off in January to have a VSG at 180 #.

I'd love to hear the experiences of others going from band to VSG before becoming extremely heavy again.

Can I expect decent weight loss? Is it harder? I'm older now and have bad knees and back, so exercise is limited.

Should the remaining stomach be a smaller size (as I have heard)?

Any special tips?

Thaank you!
