Here is my journey from Crap Band to VSG
I had lapband August 2006. Things were great until 12/2010. Band slipped and was removed 02/2011. I lost 115 lbs and kept it off for the whole time.
After band was removed, I was not ready for another surgery so I was going to go it all by myself. It took me three years and 75 pounds to finally make the best
decision I have ever made where my health was concerned. I went to Dr. in 12/2013 and was scheduled for surgery 12/30/2013.
The surgery went well and I was completely calm about my surgery. I had bounced the idea of VSG around for three years. Back and forth, back and forth.
Finally, I did it and boy am I glad I did. Down 73 pounds since December 2013 and loving every day. Not one complication thankfully so far.
If you are thinking about this surgery, DO IT! It has worked for me and I am so thankful for this surgery.
