Any complications after VSG?

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had any complications after VSG?  Big or small, I would like to hear them.  Thanks!

Hello - I am a pre-op VSGer as well and was just about to post the same question OH.  My surgeons have their own Yahoo mail group and the complications I've seen are severe nausia and not able to keep anything down.  One woman is going through that now.  I spoke with my doctor about it and he said that about 4 patients a year (out of hundreds) get this extended period of nausea that resolves itself in 4-6 months.    You are welcome to sign up for the group.  They welcome those who are researching or have had the Duodenal Switch / Distal Gastric Bypass, the RNY, Vertical Gastrectomy (VG, Sleeve Gastrectomy), or LapBand who wish to discuss, ask questions, get support, lurk, share experiences or update members on their progress.

These doctors have probably done the most VSG's than any other so it may be a good place to ask your question.  Good luck with your surgery, mine is scheduled for 11/12/08.

My husband had his VSG on 10/27/08.  He says his stomach hurts each time he smells food, sees a food commercial, etc.  Is this normal?

I had a leak which caused lung problems.  I had to have 2 surgeries and nearly died they said.  I wrote about it on my profile.
