I've been researching options for resleeving but one of the docs I had narrowed it down too believes MGB to be the best option as opposed to resleeving. I had NEVER considered such a thing though I guess it doesn't hurt to do some research. Here's the thing, I weigh about 175 lbs, I'm very happy around 150, my sleeve is definitely not working at all, I fight everyday to stay where I'm at but I've gained 10lbs over the last few months. Is this surgery too severe for a lower BMI patient?
tadair.
I am also trying to find out, why there is almost no activity in the MGBgroup.. Could not find one yet. In case, you find out, please let me know.
Tks & regards

Hello there,
Can someone direct me with information regarding surgeons in Canada that perform the MGB.
Thank you
Could someone kindly point me to more MGB forums? I am looking for very very active forums, and can't seem to find many at all. I have researched (ad nauseum) all WLS and have come to either the DS or MGB. I am struggling to find other MGB patient forums where I can ask questions from LOTS and LOTS of other MGBers. The one on Google is large but not active. Someone was saying a CLOS forum used to be active but when I hit the link, blank page comes up. I am considering MGB with either Dr. Kulau in India or the MD that does the robotic MGB (I think in India too). See youtube for his vids and name.
In the meantime, here are some questions:
1. Do any of you have experience with Mexican Doctors doing the MGB?
2. Seeking true statistics on cancer and long term MGBers. Where can I get statistics and studies on long term MGBers and complications. I am talking 10 - 15 years down the road. Do these exist?
3. Want to hear from long term MGBers with complications. Ulcers, cancer, leaks, whatever. Please, someone help me find some forums with LONG TERM patients.
Thanks in advance,
T
you likely won't find lots of ppl who have had enough experience with the MGB,to be able to tell you anything about long term. It has only been performed for about 2 years in the US,so there are not any long term report s yet.
Wow, what a story. I would love to have you in my next book where we are highlighting "Stories and personal connections with other bypass readers who are either going through the same thing or would benefit from hearing about your situation.

I am not sure but I believe they bypass all of your intestine.
Thanks for replying. That is about the same. I wonder if this is about the same amount bypassed as the RNY?
