VIRGIN Lapband weightloss vs Revision VSG weightloss
RNY on 12/09/13
Hello all,
My surgeon told me that revision patients just don't lose as much or as fast as virgins (never had wls before) do. I wanted to hear from actual patients. Is there anyone out there that has gone from a Lap-Band to a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)? How did you do? How much weight did you lose and in how much time? And how are you doing thus far? I just want to go in having a realistic goal in mind. I'd like to hear from everyone. Those that ate properly and those that didn't. I have already started trying to reduce my food intake and get more active. Share your thoughts.
