Does Dr Beausoleil do VSG? My son got a referral sent to Dr. B. and he is leaning towards VSG.
He weighs 420 pounds and he does not want the band either. Nothing against the band, it is just a lot of work and a lot of care. He suffered a head injury 15 years ago and I don't think he could work a band. I don't want him to have the RNY either. It is pretty severe for someone his age.

My son won't even get in to see Dr B for another 2 or 3 years so I am really hoping he even qualifies for the vsg. I know how difficult it is for me so I don't think he wants rny. VSG may be easier than RNY. Dumping sucks

Yeah thw dumping sure does curb your sugar tooth in a hurry. If you dump on the same thing a cople of times, you kinda lose the urge for it. LOL.Sucks though to dump on�all canned soup and crackers and breads.�
What is not so funny is the total loss of so many foods. I thought after a year or so I would start getting some of them back but I am still losing more. I am pretty much down to hamburger meat and chickem breasts now.�I have lost most all other meats and fish.�� Be�careful about wishing for�dumping because a lot o people ( I think this includes Deb too) will never experience dumping.�

There is a very long wait list for Dr. Beausoleil. There is a Dr. James Elsmere in Halifax that specializes in VSG. He has a fairly new clinic and accepts his patients on a needs bases, rather then a wait list.
