Is peterson hernia a potential risk for VSGr's?

I've heard of them and how dangerous they are, but so far only heard of them happening with the RNY wondered if that was just cuz that WLS is used more and been around longer or if maybe it's not a risk with the sleeve??

Some of what is in this link is technical, but the little I did get out of it sounds like it's related to the work they do rerouting things inside. Since that isn't done in the VSG, I would think it would not be an issue with us.

That's what  I was hoping.

No, that's only when they start moving the intestines about. With just a stomach reduction, that potential space is never created.
