HI, I don't know if you got an answer to this question yet but.

vsg is where they remove a majority of your stomach to make it a banana shaped tube.
vbg is where they place a small 1cm plastic(I think it's plastic) ring through part of your stomach and then staple along that ring to the top of your stomach to make a thumb sized pouch. I hope that was clear!
