VSG revision to DS?
Babygirl, yes I had 2 bands- both slipped and then a removal. Re-gained 80lbs in 3 months! Horrifying. First sleeve was w/ a amateur and he did not do the entire sleeve because of adhesions. 2nd sleeve was w/ Dr. Gagner while he was in NYC- good sleeve but by then my metabolism was shot. Knew that I needed the intestinal portion if I had any hope of not regaining up to my highest wt. of 473lb. So went to Spain- I'm so glad I did.
Please get a copy of your original operative report from the hospital or surgeon- it will tell you what size your stomach was made. This is very important as some surgeons do not make it small enough. Your DS surgeon will want to know/see a copy to check it out also.
Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions and read, read,read......
