Has anyone had a VSG done by dr Hagen out of HRRH Toronto?
I'm just meeting with him next week and hoping he will go along with my request for a VSG.

My message got all messed up...
From my underatanding we Ontario peeps don't actually get to choose which surgery we want. It all has to do with what our surgeons think is best for us. They decide this based on a number of criteria. Do you have bowel/intestinal issues or depend on NSAIDS for something? These are two reasons they may consider VSG for you.

We don't get to choose. But we can advocate why we would like one over the other.
Some doctors are more willing to do it then others in my research.
I have a 60 bmi take a couple of NSAID daily, also have mirgraines.
For some doctors all I stated is enough to give the vsg,
For some their as to be chrons of IBD.
I feel the sleeve is best for me w my family medical history and my current medical concerns.
I can't imagine not having NSAID for my arthritis.
I'm doing this WLS to improve my quality of life. Sure the pressure on my joints will once weight comes off, but I will still have it.
