Topic: RE: MGB reversal
I had the MGB 10/2007 and I've had a problem with keeping the weight on.  I am really considering switching to VGS.  Please tell me your experience and transitioning process.

Topic: RE: Recovery time? +/-
no no regrets given my other choice was death.  ;-} i went back to work the same day i got back hom. tried to keep it light, but a very physical job. i took pain killers to get over the pain. i went back way to early. i felt like well close to my old self at about week 4, but again probably because i pushed it way to soon. man 2 weeks off would have been great.   Will

Hi,

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Hi,

Dr Rutlege holds a live clinic on Tuesdays at noon and 9pm eastern time.  You can watch it on the computer and learn alot.  Dr R requires an extensive pre surgery program.  It's called a packet and it is very involved and he has to approve it.  Once you finish, a pre-op is totally aware of what will happen, what to expect, and have a good support system in place.  Go to http://clos.net and read read read.  It will clarify many of your questions.  Good luck on your search for the right surgery for you.

I had it done.  My original surgeon essentially butchered me.  Bypassed WAY too much intestine and I got down to 92 lbs. and nearly died.  I was revised to a gastric sleeve a year later and doing great now.

Topic: RE: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
That is fantastic! I know how you feel!  I am a revision from lapband to MGB.  Dr. Rutledge removed my band and performed my MGB surgery on August 27, 2008.  I am now 13 lbs from my goal and feel fantastic!  My only regret is that I didn't know about the MGB before I had my band placed.

It is wonderful to hear from other MGBers.  Take care and continued success to you!
