Has anyone had this done? How did you like the results?

I really hope you mistyped and mean VSG.

Most people who are revising from the RNY usually go for the full DS, not just the VSG.    Maybe you are talking about the BOB, where the surgeon places a band over the RNY pouch for renewed restriction?

VSG = Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (the sleeve portion of the DS surgery)

VBG = Vertical Band Gastroplasty (non-adjustable band, sometimes done with stapling)

BOB = Band Over Bypass (lapband over pouch)
