Thanks!  The results with the vsg are not as fast as with the rny, but they're both great procedures.

If only it had been done 30 years ago!!  I was down for an RNY in 2004 but there was a glitch in funding and the paper trail became complicated, but so glad the vsg happened in 2010.  Another 2 inches off my belly and I'll have the same waist as I did in 1973 at age 20.  Life is very good
