Removing Band & Getting MGB!

Woah...... I don't think you can return that early. Recovery from any weight loss surgery takes longer than that.

Is MGB the same as RNY Gastric bypass? I also was planning on getting the Lapband and reading lots of posts in regards to banded people having them removed and getting bypass.  And Nurseredhead it is reversable?  That is my one concern, heaven forbid but if something major happened or for whatever reason it needing to be reversed just puts my mind a little more at ease.

The MGB is very similar to the RNY. The difference is that nothing is cut out, so yes, it is reversable. Also less chance for problems at connection points. Also the angle that the MGB is done there is much less chance of stretching. These are the reasons I chose this procedure. I am 8 weeks out and have lost 30 pounds. I hope this helps and good luck!!
