I Went To Infomational Session Tonight at Clakcson Hospital

I Went To Infomational Session Tonight at Clakcson Hospital,I heard Alot of good things & bad things,learned alot of info to,I'm trying to decide between the Adjustable Gastric Banding,Vertical Banded Gastroplasty or the ROUX-EN-GASTRIC BYPASS,Dr McBride on does the ADJUSTABLE GASTRIC BANDING,VERTICAL BANDED GASTROPLASTY.So if I go with the ROUX-EN-GASTRIC BYPASS I will have to find a different Dr... So Im still undecided... Janelle

Just an FYI...VBG has a pretty high failure rate...many have been revised to the RNY or the DS. Sherry Open RNY 02/04/04 (Proximal-75 cm) 294.5/142 -152.5#

Sherry thank you so much for your reply...I appreciate yours & everyones replys, HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT NIGHT!!! Janelle

I understand that most surgeons are no longer doing the VBG due to all the failures. Dixie
